Research in biophysics and molecular/cellular biology

The Cees Dekker Lab at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands is recruiting both PhD students and postdoctoral researchers for several cutting-edge projects in biophysics, nanoscience, and synthetic cell research. Current openings include positions focused on in vitro reconstitution of archaeal cell division systems, peptide sequencing using DNA origami nanopores, development of microfluidics circuitry for synthetic cells, and studies of mimics of nuclear pore complexes and peroxisomes. The lab is internationally recognized and seeks outstanding experimentalists with backgrounds in biophysics, single-molecule techniques, synthetic cells, optical imaging, nanosciences, or molecular/cellular biology. Diversity is actively fostered, and female candidates are especially encouraged to apply. Postdoctoral positions are offered for 2-4 years, and PhD positions for 4 years. Interested applicants should send a cover letter, CV with publication list, and contact information for at least three references to Professor Cees Dekker. Application materials may be reviewed by CDlab group members. For more details, visit the lab website.
