PhD position: Stirring of the local density of states of light
Quantum Optics group at the Huygens Laboratory of Leiden University - Leiden
The role of the selected PhD student will be to develop experimental tools to measure the local density of optical states, via its effect on spontaneous emission, to apply these tools to scattering media, and to design and produce optimized scattering geometries. Research This project is part of...

PhD position: Two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy to elucidate biomolecular function
FOM Institute AMOLF - Amsterdam
In the first phase of this project you will build a complex experimental setup for performing two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy. In later phases the setup will be used to study the conformational motions of peptides and proteins. As part of the project we will also look into strategies to...

PhD position: Topological insulators and superconductors
University of Amsterdam, Institute of Physics - Amsterdam
The PhD project has a strong experimental component and is directed towards (i) the study of 2D surface states in 3D topological insulators, notably by quantum oscillatory phenomena and the quantum Hall effect, and (ii) unraveling the Cooper pair state in novel topological superconductors. The...

Postdoc position: Chaperone-mediated protein folding at the single-molecule level
FOM Institute AMOLF - Amsterdam
We have recently shown how a protein folding pathway changes upon interactions with a simple chaperone (Science 318, 2007). The aim of this project is to unravel the effect of more complex chaperones, which are driven by an ATP cycle and have a far richer dynamical behaviour. This is class of...

PhD position: Picosecond microspectroscopy of photosynthetic membranes
Laboratory of Biophysics at Wageningen University - Wageningen
The researcher will make use of recently developed ways to study photosynthetic complexes with picoseconds time resolution via advanced fluorescence methods (streak camera and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy), even in vivo. These methods will be applied for the study of thylakoid membranes...
