1. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Femtosecond study and control of surfactants on water
Summary of PhD Project
In this project you will study the interfacial properties of aqueous solutions of commonly used surfactants with advanced ultrafast spectroscopic techniques including vibrational surface sum-frequency generation. The signal measured with this technique provides direct information on the nature of the vibrations of the molecules near the surface and on the orientation of the molecular groups carrying the vibrations.

2. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Femtosecond Electrochemistry
Summary of PhD Project
In this project you will study the molecular structure of aqueous electrolyte solutions near electrode surfaces using advanced ultrafast spectroscopic techniques. One of these techniques to be used is femtosecond surface sum-frequency generation. The signal measured with this technique provides direct information on the nature of the vibrations of the molecules near the surface and on the orientation of the molecular groups carrying the vibrations.

3. Fully Funded PhD Programs in biophysics of cellular time-keeping during animal development
Summary of PhD Project
In this project, you will use advanced microscopy and quantitative analysis to solve an important fundamental question: how cells in embryos keep track of time, to execute their functions at exactly the right stage of development. You will address this question in the nematode worm C. elegans. Using a quantitative, physics-inspired approach, you will measure the dynamics of molecules that function as timing regulators in growing and developing animals, to reveal how these molecules encode time with high accuracy.

4. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Computing and Learning with Material Bits
Summary of PhD Project
We are seeking a motivated PhD – student to join our team working on the theory of computing and learning in physical systems, as part of a joint theoretical/experimental program on Smart Materials for Information Processing. With increasing demands on computing and its accompanying energy consumption, there is a pressing need for alternatives to conventional computing hardware. In this project you will investigate and develop novel design and learning strategies for computing based on networks of bistable physical elements.

5. Fully Funded PhD Programs in The single-molecule biophysics of ribsomes and phase separation
Summary of PhD Project
In this project, you will perform innovative (bio)physics experiments to elucidate the dynamic action of individual ribosomes, and how they relate to mRNA structure. The key methodologies are optical tweezers and single-molecule fluorescence, as well as selective ribosome profiling – an exciting new RNA sequencing method. Working in the Tans biophysics lab @ AMOLF Amsterdam, you will visualize the real-time translation activity of ribosomes, the conformational dynamics of mRNA structure, and the interplay between them.

6. Fully Funded PhD Programs in The single-molecule biophysics of ribosome cooperation
Summary of PhD Project
According to textbooks, ribosomes work individually to produce proteins. However, recent insights from our lab and others show multiple ribosomes cooperate as they translate mRNA. This cooperation may well be essential to produce multi-protein complexes faithfully. In our group, we aim to elucidate the highly diverse and broad implications. Questions we are interested in include: Do ribosomes synchronize their translation activity in real-time, like a sequence of cars in traffic? Are mRNA secondary structures and/or direct interactions between ribosomes involved?
