PhD in Learning Interactions in Collective Cell Migration Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in Netherlands

The Broedersz group in the Section for Physics of Living Systems at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is offering a 2.5-year postdoctoral position on the non-equilibrium statistical physics of collective cell migration. The project focuses on uncovering the fundamental interaction rules that govern how cells move together in multicellular systems. This biological process is central to development, immune responses, and cancer progression, and the team aims to understand how cell–cell interactions sha...

The University of Groningen is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to work on hybrid and de novo-designed nanopores for single-molecule protein sensing. The project focuses on designed nanopores, nanopore technology, biophysics, and the development of breakthrough tools for reading and sensing individual protein molecules. The research will be conducted in Professor Giovanni Maglia's laboratory and includes collaboration with partners in Brussels, including VUB-VIB, and Leuven, including imec. ...

Broedersz group (Theoretical Physics of Life), Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam This ERC-funded postdoctoral project explores the statistical and dynamic organization of bacterial chromosomes . The successful candidate will join the Broedersz group, part of the Section for Physics of Living Systems in the Physics department at VU Amsterdam, and contribute to a research program on the physics of living systems. The project, Learn4DChromosome , addresses how bacterial chromosomes maintain a highly var...

Fully funded PhD in Computational Biophysics and Machine Learning at the University of Cagliari in Italy, offered through the ELEVATE MSCA Doctoral Network and the Department of Physics, with a joint degree involving RWTH Aachen in Germany. The project integrates physics-based simulations with machine learning to predict protein conformations, investigate how mutations are linked to protein isoforms, and identify molecular descriptors relevant to drug design. The doctoral researcher will work at...

This PhD project in the Vorselen Lab at University Medical Center Utrecht focuses on the biophysics of cellular immunity . The research explores how mechanical forces regulate immune function, with particular attention to how cells receive physical information and how cellular forces shape immune processes in health and disease. You will work on developing new technologies and analysis approaches to study immune cell mechanics. A major part of the project is building new analysis pipelines to in...
