PhD and Postdoc in Printing of Complex Fluids at Wageningen University & Research Wageningen University & Research in Netherlands

PhD position at the University of Groningen in the Groningen Research Institute of Pharmacy (GRIP) , within the Faculty of Science and Engineering and linked to the University Medical Centre Groningen. The project is part of the nationally funded, multi-partner consortium Towards De-Novo Life . The research focuses on microfluidics , coacervate droplets , and the development of synthetic cell-like systems for minimal life research. The PhD candidate will develop new microfluidic tools to observe...

PhD opportunity in nonlinear molecular spectroscopy of elastic water and hydrogels at AMOLF, Amsterdam. This PhD project focuses on the molecular-scale structure and dynamics of water and polymer networks in biological hydrogels and supramolecular hydrogels. The work uses advanced nonlinear spectroscopic methods, especially femtosecond two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy and polarization-resolved femtosecond infrared spectroscopy, to understand how microscopic water/network dynamics determine ...

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is advertising a PhD position in instrumentation for quantitative nanoparticle analysis with a strong valorization and commercialization focus. The project sits in the Faculty of Science and aims to develop a second-generation holographic nanoparticle tracking platform , including optical instrumentation, sample chambers, robust measurement protocols, and analysis pipelines. The research builds on an existing first-generation platform and previous work, with support ...

University of Twente vacancies account is advertising a PhD position titled Synthetic Active Matter: Unravelling 3D Real-Space Dynamics . This opportunity is at the University of Twente in the Netherlands and appears to focus on physics , materials science , and related synthetic active matter research. The topic suggests work on dynamic, possibly soft-matter or colloidal systems, with an emphasis on understanding 3D real-space behavior. No detailed eligibility criteria, funding package, or dead...

Open PhD position in synthetic cell division , condensate endocytosis , membrane biophysics , and soft matter physics at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in collaboration with the University of Potsdam through the IMPRS on Functional Material Design . The project uses patterned light from a spatial light modulator to confine illumination to micron-scale regions of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), a minimal cell model. The goal is to build a synthetic membrane platform that c...
