Scientific Internship: Internship: Decentralized learning of locomotion in modular soft robots
The Soft Robotic Matter group at AMOLF is looking for interns at the Master level from a range of backgrounds (including physics, mathematics and engineering) that will work on the …
Scientific Internship: Tunable friction through isopropanol vapor-phase lubrication: How does it work?
In this project, you will use a combination of advanced and novel experimental techniques to unravel how contacts form between surfaces, how the contact conditions change over time, and how …
PhD-student: Smart Fluidic Circuits for Autonomous soft robots
The use of soft materials in robot development has emerged as a way to increase the adaptability of robots and their safe interaction with humans. Although soft robots will likely …
Scientific internship: mathematical modelling of pulse synchronization in C. elegans cells
All organisms must deal with various types of environmental stress, such as starvation, pathogens, and thermal shock. In the nematode C. elegans, many different types of stress response are mediated …
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: Fluidic control of soft robots
The Soft Robotic Matter group at AMOLF is looking for interns at the Master level that will work on the development and fundamental understanding of soft robots, i.e. robots made …
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, …
PhD-student: 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 …
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 …
Postdoc: Biophysics of symbiotic networks and communities
Symbiotic partnerships can drive the evolution of remarkably complex social behaviors, even in simple organisms. Recent experiments provide evidence that symbiotic microbes demonstrate transport and trade behaviors reminiscent of human …
