Joining the Lab

Interested in quantitative (super-resolution) microscopy, working at the interface of optics and cell biology, and shaping the future of a young research group? We are always looking for talented and motivated people to join our team. We have opportunities to join our research group as a technician, PhD student or postdoctoral researcher and for Bachelor or Master projects. As a young and growing research group, your contribution will have a significant impact.

For applications and all other questions please contact Kristin Grußmayer by email, including your CV and a brief motivation letter summarising your background and research interests.

If you are a B.Sc. or M.Sc. student and interested in applying super-resolution or quantitative phase imaging or working on microscopy hardware and software, we are happy to work with you. Please contact us to discuss possible projects.

We welcome applications from prospective students keen to take on challenging interdisciplinary projects linked to the research interests of the lab, in collaboration with other groups at Bionanoscience and within Applied Science and beyond. A background in (neuro)cell biology or biophysics would be a plus, but not required, as is experience with microscopy, image processing/analysis and programming.

If no positions are explicitely announced here, please apply via the Casimir Research School in Molecular Biophysics or contact us directly for inquiries.

Please also take a look at fellowships/stipends for funding opportunities. A brief listing is provided here:

Boehringer Ingelheim PhD Fellowships

Or search this list, produced and posted by Johns Hopkins University (JHU) in Baltimore, Maryland.

We are always looking for promising postdoc candidates with a background in (bio)physics, (bio)chemistry or biology. You can find an overview of our research areas and interests on the group homepage, but you will have the opportunity to develop your own ideas and be encouraged to work closely with our collaborators within Bionanoscience, the whole of Applied Science and beyond.

Please also take a look at fellowships/stipends for external funding opportunities. There may be more opportunities depending on your country of origin and your background. Please get in touch and we can explore options together. A brief listing is provided here:

EMBO Long Term Fellowships
FEBS Long Term Fellowships
EU Marie Curie Fellowships.
Human Frontier Science Program Postdoctoral Fellowships
Kavli Postdoctoral Fellowships
NWO VENI Postdoctoral Fellowships
NWO Rubicon Postdoctoral Fellowships (The Rubicon program focuses on Dutch PhD graduates seeking postdoctoral positions abroad, but has a limited number of fellowships for postdocs performing research in The Netherlands)
