PhD Position in Nanopositioning with Optimal Optical Information

**Your job**: We are working at the interface of biochemistry, molecular biology and biophysics to follow the journey of nascent proteins toward their functional structures as they emerge from the ribosome. These mechanistic studies pave the way for targeted interventions against protein misfolding and perturbed protein homeostasis which are important for a...

Optimize information content in light fields to advance precision measurements for cutting-edge technology fabrication. Join our research group at Universiteit Utrecht, the Netherlands, as a PhD researcher to explore fundamental and applied aspects of multi-modal optical measurements.About the JobThis four-year PhD project involves extending our...

**The Tytgat Group** Our group’s mission is to translate foundational research into clinical practice. With a focus on imaging, we assess the clinical efficacy of imaging techniques for staging and prognosis in newly diagnosed patients, as well as their prognostic significance during follow-up. We aim to leverage imaging findings to measure therapy...

The immune system helps plants resist pathogen infections and has been well studied. However, it becomes increasingly clear that enhancing defense comes at a cost, as plants slow down growth even if the infection is successfully combatted. In this project, you will investigate how plants control their growth during and after an immune response. This research...

PFAS (per - and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are so-called ‘’forever chemicals’’ that are found everywhere: in our soils, water, food and bodies. PFAS contamination of soils is an increasingly important global issue, and we still lack sustainable methods for PFAS remediate. The PFAS Remediation Living Lab is a contaminated location at the Utrecht...

**Your job**: We are hiring a PhD researcher to participate in the NWO/Vidi project **"I**mprovising Security: Subsistence in Contemporary Urban Europe**"** and to write a dissertation based on urban ethnographic research in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Urban dwellers in Western Europe are facing new insecurities related to work, care, and access to basic...

**Your job**: In recent years, there has been a significant surge of interest in networks, which now play a fundamental role in modern science and society. The network-like structures are widely discussed, from cosmology and communication to economics and ecology. Even at the nanoscale, in materials science, they may offer potential theoretical explanations...

The immune system helps plants resist pathogen infections and has been well studied. However, it becomes increasingly clear that enhancing defense comes at a cost, as plants slow down growth even if the infection is successfully combatted. In this project, you will investigate the poorly understood process of how plants control their growth during and after...

**Your job**: Cell polarity - the asymmetric distribution of components and functions within a cell along a directional axis - is a fundamental property of cells that is present across the kingdoms of life. Most cells need to distribute proteins, organelles, and functions along an axis of polarity in order to carry out their specialised functions and...

Check out this PhD position! **Your job**: The same machine learning methods that are unprecedently used across large areas of science are also wide...

Science communication often involves hyped, overly broad claims about research findings. What are the causes, social epistemological risks, and who’s responsible? In this PhD project, you will be researching these questions. **Your job**: We are offering a fully funded four-year PhD position to a researcher interested in philosophically and experimentally...

**Your job**: Many of the standard equations in mathematical physics are based on the fundamental assumption that matter is continuous. In this project, we will revisit such equations by dropping this continuum assumption. We will consider spatial networks - random graph-like structures that permeate space - as the basis and attempt to describe commonly used...
