**Research Opportunity at the University of Twente**

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team at the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology, University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands. The successful candidate will work on developing artificial microswimmers capable of autonomous motion and transport in 3D.

**Project Overview**

The primary objective of this project is to develop a unique experimental model system to better understand the dynamic self-organization of microorganisms in 3D using optical microscopy techniques. This involves designing synthetic microswimmers with unique capabilities such as self-propulsion, assembling themselves, and responding to local environments.

**Key Responsibilities**

The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and developing artificial microswimmers, conducting experiments using optical microscopy techniques, and analyzing data to understand the dynamic self-organization of microorganisms in 3D.

**Requirements**

To be eligible for this research opportunity, applicants must have a Master's degree in applied Physics, Chemistry, Biophysics, or a related field. Prior experience with experimental skills, including optical microscope techniques and colloidal particle synthesis, is a valuable asset. Working knowledge or demonstrated practical programming experience in Python, ImageJ, and/or MATLAB is highly beneficial.

**What We Offer**

The university offers a dynamic ecosystem with enthusiastic colleagues in a stimulating scientific environment. The PhD salary is € 2.770 in the first year, increasing to € 3.539 in the fourth year. The offer further involves a holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary and a year-end bonus of 8.3%, a solid pension scheme, a minimum of 29-day holidays, and numerous professional and personal development programs.
