Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our interdisciplinary team at the VU Amsterdam. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing advanced nanosensing platforms based on single particle observations.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in experimental nanophotonics, all-optical sensing or label-free microscopy. 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.

The successful candidate will work on developing high-throughput nanosizing methods at the ultimate levels of sensitivity and accuracy. They will apply these platforms to prominent nanometric drug vectors and help transitioning our technology into a widely applicable and usable platform.

The VU Amsterdam is a socially engaged organisation that offers a fully funded one year postdoctoral fellowship with ample room for personal development. We offer 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.

We are looking for a candidate who is excited about interdisciplinary research as part of a multidisciplinary and diverse team. The ideal candidate will have excellent written and oral communication skills and be eager to learn and apply new skills.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop advanced nanosensing platforms based on single particle observations
  • Design and build optical instrumentation (microscopy) for label-free sensing
  • Apply high-throughput nanosizing methods to prominent nanometric drug vectors
  • Help transitioning our technology into a widely applicable and usable platform

Requirements:

  • PhD degree in Chemistry, Physics or Nanotechnology
  • Experience with designing and building optical instrumentation (microscopy)
  • Experience with label-free or holographic imaging/sensing of single nano-objects
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills
  • Eager to learn and apply new skills

What We Offer:

  • A fully funded one year postdoctoral fellowship with ample room for personal development
  • 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
  • Plenty of room to acquire new skills to develop a highly-competitive research portfolio

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.

We are located on one physical campus, in the heart of Amsterdam's Zuidas business district, with excellent location and accessibility. Over 5,500 staff work at the VU and over 30,000 students attend academic education.

How to Apply:

We look forward to receiving your online application with the following documents as a single PDF:

  • A cover letter describing your current research interests
  • A CV including list of publications
  • A list ranking your experience with microscopy; holographic microscopy/imaging; nanophotonics; nonlinear optics; designing optical instrumentation; programming
  • Contact details of at least two references

Evaluation will be done on a rolling basis until the vacancy is filled.
