Job Title: Postdoctoral Researcher in Ultrasensitive Nano(bio)sensing

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our interdisciplinary team at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The successful candidate will work on the development of record-breaking next-generation instruments for all-optical and label-free biomolecularly-resolved nanosizing platforms.

Job Description:

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in experimental nanophotonics, all-optical sensing or label-free microscopy. The successful candidate will develop high-throughput nanosizing methods at the ultimate levels of sensitivity and accuracy, apply these platforms to prominent nanometric drug vectors, and help transition our technology into a widely applicable and usable platform.

Responsibilities:
  • Develop high-throughput nanosizing methods at the ultimate levels of sensitivity and accuracy
  • Apply these platforms to prominent nanometric drug vectors
  • Help transition our technology into a widely applicable and usable platform
  • Explore and implement biomolecularly resolved nanosizing technologies
Requirements:
  • PhD degree in Chemistry, Physics or Nanotechnology
  • Experience with designing and building optical instrumentation (microscopy) is a must
  • Experience with label-free or holographic imaging/sensing of single nano-objects is a bonus
  • Experience with programming and hardware-software interfacing is a plus
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills
  • Excited about interdisciplinary research as part of a multidisciplinary and diverse team
  • Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to collaboratively work with other researchers
  • Eager to learn and apply new skills
What We Offer:
  • A fully funded one year postdoctoral fellowship with ample room for personal development in a socially engaged organisation
  • A salary of minimum € 3.345,00 (Scale 10) and maximum € 4.185,00 (Scale 10.5) gross per month, on a full-time basis
  • The appointment will initially be for 1 year. Subject to a positive evaluation, the contract will be extended for a total duration of 30 months

We also offer you attractive fringe benefits and regulations, including a full-time 38-hour working week, 8% holiday allowance, 8.3% end-of-year bonus, contribution to commuting expenses, space for personal development, and a wide range of sports facilities which staff may use at a modest charge.

About Us:

The MatzLab develops next-generation imaging and sensing platforms in the context of future biomedical, pharmaceutical, and clinical applications. We are particularly interested in label-free or digital approaches, where we combine fundamental research with systematic platform and assay development.

Faculty of Science
Researchers and students at VU Amsterdam's Faculty of Science tackle fundamental and complex scientific problems to help pave the way for a sustainable and healthy future. From forest fires to big data, from obesity to malnutrition, and from molecules to the moon: we cover the full spectrum of the natural sciences.

We work on new solutions guided by value-driven, interdisciplinary methodologies. We are committed to research, valorisation and training socially engaged citizens of the world who will make valuable contributions to a sustainable, healthy future.

Are you interested in joining the Faculty of Science? You will join undergraduate students, PhD candidates and researchers at the biggest sciences faculty in the Netherlands. You will combine a professional focus with a broad view of the world. We are proud of our collegial working climate, characterised by committed staff, a pragmatic attitude and engagement in the larger whole. The faculty is home to over 11,000 students enrolled in 40 study programmes. It employs over 1,600 professionals spread across 10 academic departments.

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
