Postdoc Opportunities in Biology in Netherlands

AMLab at the University of Amsterdam is recruiting a 2-year postdoc to work with Nabil Iqbal on a Simons Foundation–supported project on symmetries and their breaking in deep learning . The position sits at the intersection of machine learning, theoretical physics, and mathematical modelling, with a focus on understanding how modern neural architectures develop useful emergent behaviour from simple components. The project asks fundamental questions about the dynamics of deep learning and aims to...

This postdoctoral project at Leiden University focuses on covalent small-molecule inhibitor discovery for emerging cancer targets. The work is rooted in chemical proteomics and drug discovery for proteins involved in immune-oncology that are considered challenging to address with conventional small molecules. The successful researcher will develop and optimize electrophilic lead compounds, then design bifunctional analogues intended to induce protein degradation. The role combines synthetic and ...

Eindhoven University of Technology is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for the UI-PRIG project, Understanding & Improving Product Risk Information in Gambling . The two-year interdisciplinary project is conducted by TU/e in collaboration with the Trimbos Institute and is based in the Human-Technology Interaction group within the Department of Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences. The research addresses how online gambling platforms communicate risks, winning probabilities, and bonus con...

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...

KiDLAB at the University of Amsterdam is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to study how economic inequality affects children’s development. The project asks how children perceive and explain inequality, how these perceptions are shaped by parents, and what consequences actual and perceived inequality may have for children’s mental health, social relationships, civic engagement, and egalitarianism. The position is embedded in KiDLAB , an interdisciplinary, international, and collaborative lab ...

This postdoctoral project at Delft University of Technology focuses on the clinical validation of single-camera markerless motion capture for assessing and monitoring motor impairments in people with stroke and Parkinson’s disease . Working in the Department of Biomechanical Engineering, you will help determine how well markerless methods perform when moved beyond the lab into real-world home environments. The project brings together biomechanical engineering, clinical collaboration, and home-ba...

SupraValent is an ERC Consolidator project at Maastricht University that aims to create a programmable two-way interface between living cells and synthetic hydrogels. In this postdoctoral project, the successful candidate will help establish a new research line in engineered living materials by combining synthetic biology, microbial engineering, and dynamic supramolecular hydrogel platforms. The work is centered on developing engineered microbial cells that can sense defined signals and then pro...

Postdoctoral Researcher: Reset Aged Vascular Function at Maastricht University is an ambitious cardiovascular ageing project hosted at CARIM (Cardiovascular Research Institute Maastricht) and the Pathology department. The position sits within the group of Prof. Judith Sluimer and focuses on understanding how mesenchymal cells and their metabolism contribute to vascular ageing. The project examines the perivascular layer, where the first signs of ageing are thought to occur, rather than only the ...

Wageningen University & Research is recruiting two postdoctoral researchers within its Information Technology Group (INF). The positions place artificial intelligence and data-driven methods at the intersection of software and systems engineering, food safety, agriculture, and life sciences. Postdoc 1: AI-Driven Allergen Early Warning Systems for Novel Foods This one-year research position focuses on developing AI-driven approaches to identify emerging allergen risks in novel foods. The work wil...
