Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Nederland AMOLF Voltijd
Job Summary

We are seeking an Experimental Physicist to join our team at AMOLF, a leading research institute in the Netherlands. As a member of our group, you will work on innovative projects related to single-molecule techniques and chaperone-guided protein folding.

Your primary focus will be on developing and implementing new experimental schemes using optical tweezers and single-molecule fluorescence. You will analyze complex temporal data, formulate new models, and explain your findings in high-level scientific papers.

About the Project

Our research group is focused on understanding the fundamental mechanisms underlying protein synthesis and folding. We use cutting-edge single-molecule fluorescence and manipulation methods to visualize the real-time translation activity of ribosomes and the folding of individual polypeptide chains.

As a key member of our team, you will contribute to the development of new experimental approaches and the analysis of large datasets. You will also have the opportunity to collaborate with international partners and present your research at leading conferences.

Qualifications

We are looking for a highly motivated and skilled researcher with a strong background in experimental physics or a related field. You should have experience with single-molecule techniques, programming skills, and excellent verbal and written communication skills.

The position is intended as a full-time appointment for the duration of four years. Funding is available for international conferences and relocation assistance is provided to new foreign researchers.
