Scientific Internship: Soft fluidic sensors for autonomous soft robots
The Soft Robotic Matter group at AMOLF is looking for an interns at the Master’s level from a range of backgrounds (including Physics, Mathematics and Engineering) that will work on …
Scientific Internship: 3D printing of soft robots with embedded smart fluidic circuits
The Soft Robotic Matter group at AMOLF is looking for research interns at the Master’s level from a range of backgrounds (Engineering, Physics, Materials Science) that will work on 3D …
The Photonic Forces group seeks a talented postdoctoral researcher in the field of nano-optomechanics. We study new ways to control nanomechanical vibrations at the quantum level, by making them strongly interact with …
Scientific Internship: Simulation of multiplexing in immune cell receptors using eGFRD
When your body gets infected, the immune system rapidly spreads the message using small signaling molecules that bind to receptor molecules at the surface of the immune cells. Intriguingly, different …
Scientific Internship: Living cells as information-processing machines
Biochemical networks consisting of proteins and DNA are the analog computers of life. In this project, you will investigate how these networks allow living cells to process information reliably.Living cells, …
Scientific Internship: Criticality in the bacterial brain
Many biological systems, arguably even the human brain, are tuned at criticality, the tipping point between order and disorder. Recently, by measuring random (thermal) fluctuations in a protein signaling circuit …
Scientific Internship: Can bacteria learn by association?
Associative learning, the process by which an organism develops through experience a relationship between two environmental events, is a hallmark of animal behavior. It is well-established that diverse animals, from …
Postdoc: Measuring predictive information in living cells.
Remarkable recent experiments have demonstrated that single-celled organisms are able to respond not only to experienced changes in the past, but also to expected changes that have yet to occur …
Scientific Internship: Building a microfluidic device to make “minimal cells"
In bottom-up synthetic biology, researchers try to build a minimal cell from scratch and from well-defined components. Giant lipid vesicles are frequently used to mimic a cell’s membrane. As an …
Energy-selective plasmonic nanoreactors We have recently demonstrated the ability control the product in a model reaction by altering the illumination wavelength in a single particle plasmonic nanoreactor. The same setup …
