We currently have the following openings:

• Postdoc for studying single-protein dynamics with the NEOtrap
  Keywords:  solid-state nanopores, proytein dynamics, biophysics
• Postdoc for developing microfluidic circuitry for synthetic cells on chip
  Keywords:  microfluidics, microfabrication, traps, directed evolution, synthetic cells, liposomes
• Postdoc for research on SMC-induced DNA loop extrusion
  Keywords: chromosome biophysics, fluorescence, molecular motors
• Postdoc of PhD student for zero-mode waveguide studies of single-molecule transport in biomimetic nuclear pores
  Keywords: zero mode waveguides, nanofabrication, single molecule optical visualization, nuclear pore complex, protein fingerprinting, DNA origami

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 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 are invited to submit 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.
