Job openings
We are (on purpose) a fairly small group, but we do have space to grow. We would therefore welcome new colleagues who, like us, would like to apply their theoretical skills to (bio)physical systems in close collaboration with experimentalists. We currently have an opening for a postdoc position on either membrane-cytoskeleton interactions or collective dynamics. We try to always have room for motivated MSc and BSc students from physics, nanobiology, mathematics, and related fields. We have no openings for PhD students or postdocs at present, but if you are interested in what we do and are willing to apply for a personal fellowship / grant (e.g. Marie Curie or Veni grants), please don't hesitate to contact us to discuss these plans.
PhD
We have an opening for a PhD student working on the interaction between macromolecules and membrane vesicles (analytical/simulation project in collaboration with experimentalists). You can find the vacancy and apply through the TU Delft career website.
Bachelor's / Master's students
We are presently maxed out for BSc and MSc students starting in the fall semester (September 2024 - January 2025). New opportunities will be available in February 2025. See our overview for some project ideas (note that we will not be offering all of them simultaneously), and feel free to contact Timon Idema if you are interested in learning more.
Check out our research page for more about our research interests, and our publications page for our most recent results.
Postdoc
We currently have no openings for postdoc positions.
Grant opportunities
Postdocs have the option of applying for a personal fellowship / grant (e.g. Marie Curie or Veni grants). Obtaining such a grant means that you can (partially) design your own research project, within the general research interests of our group. Feel free to contact Timon Idema for more details.

- NWO Veni
Next deadline: Expected September 2025 (first round, call usually opens in June) - Marie Curie Individual Fellowship
Next deadline: expected October 2025 (call opens in April) - Life Sciences Research Foundation
