We currently have the following openings:

• PhD student for in vitro reconstitution of the archaeal CDV system for cell division
  Keywords: cell division, archaea, CDV, liposomes
  
• Postdoc (or PhD student) for studying mimics of Nuclear Pore complexes
  Keywords: selective nuclear transport, nanopores, DNA origami, DIB, fluorescence
  
• Postdoc (or PhD student) for studying mimics of peroxisomes
  Keywords: nanopores, DNA origami, DIB, fluorescence
• Postdoc for research on SMC-induced DNA loop extrusion
  Keywords: chromosome biophysics, fluorescence, molecular motors

We are looking for outstanding experimentalists that are eager to participate in our research. The group aims at research at the highest international level. Candidates that fit into this environment are invited to apply. Experience in fields such as biophysics, single-molecule techniques, synthetic cells, optical imaging, nanosciences, and molecular/cellular biology is welcomed. We foster diversity and female candidates are particularly invited to apply, since the gender balance recently declined with the departure of quite some female postdocs and students. The postdoctoral positions are for 2-4 years. Ph.D. positions are for 4 years. Applicants who are interested are invited to send an email including cover letter, CV with publication list, and names/email addresses of 3 or more references, to professor Cees Dekker. Your cover letter and CV may be internally shared with CDlab group members for review.
