Master’s Opportunities in Microscopy in Switzerland

Master’s internship in synthetic cell research at AMOLF’s Physics of Cellular Interactions (Ganzinger) group in Amsterdam. The project is part of EVOLF, a large Dutch research consortium working toward building a fully functional synthetic cell from the bottom up. The research focuses on the PURE system—Protein Synthesis Using Recombinant Elements—a well-defined cell-free transcription-translation platform used in synthetic biology. You will investigate how efficiently PURE components can be enc...

Biology Research Fellowship at the U.S. Department of Defense This research fellowship places the selected participant at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command – Soldier Center (DEVCOM-SC) in Natick, Massachusetts, working within an ORISE-administered program focused on organoid and cell biology . The project centers on gut-health-related research, including nutritional physiology , immune system modulation , and gastrointestinal cell culture . The fellow will help establish and ...

Master thesis opportunity at the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences – Biotechnology (IBG-1) , Forschungszentrum Jülich, in the Microscale Bioengineering research group. The project focuses on the photosynthetic activity of photoautotrophic organisms at the single-cell level . You will work with a microscope-based saturation pulse method developed by the group (similar to PAM fluorometry) inside a microfluidic system , combining experimental biotechnology with fluorescence microscopy , computer-as...

Master’s (M2) Research Internship in Immuno-Oncology at the Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH), in the Cytoskeleton and Cancer Progression (CCP) research group led by Prof. Clément Thomas. The project focuses on how the actin cytoskeleton in tumor cells contributes to resistance to immune attack, with an emphasis on tumor immune evasion, the immunological synapse, high-resolution live-cell imaging, and quantitative microscopy. The group aims to identify novel therapeutic targets that could imp...
