PhD-student: Constructing active lipid vesicles: a bottom-up synthetic biology approach to studying phagocytosis
As a PhD-student in our Physics of Cellular Interactions group headed by Dr. Kristina Ganzinger, you will apply state-of-the-art techniques to measure the dynamic interplay of a model cytoskeleton and lipid membranes for the first … -
Postdoc: Nano-mechanical dynamics of single protein-chaperone complexes, studied with optical tweezers and super-resolution fluorescence
Despite the profound importance of chaperones to all proteins, the principles of their action remain surprisingly mysterious. We know that polypeptide chains fold into complex structures, but how can another protein help to solve this … -

Postdoc: Synthetic cell division mediated by membrane fission
Synthetic cell division mediated by membrane fission Living cells have the remarkable ability to autonomously grow, divide and move. The Biological Soft Matter group at AMOLF uses bottom up synthetic biology to understand how the … -
Scientific Internship: Designing and building a focus stabilization device integrated in a state-of-the-art single-molecule fluorescence microscope
The design of new instruments is at the heart of experimental physics. Often, commercial solutions lack flexibility or do not meet the requirements of the specific scientific setup. As an intern in our Physics of … -
Scientific Internship: From a single cell to a mini-organ
In this project you will investigate relations between cells in space and time, as well as the growth of the individual cells. It has recently become possible to grow mini-organs, called organoids, outside the body. -
Scientific Internship: Live Bacteria under Confinement
We are looking for highly motivated candidates interested in working on current topics in biophysics. Our aim is to investigate the dynamics of living bacteria in constrained geometries to understand bacterial motility in natural environments.
