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 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.

Bachelor's / Master's students

We are presently maxed out for BSc and MSc students. New opportunities will be available in the spring semester of 2026-2027 (starting February 2027). 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.

PhD

We currently have no openings for PhD students.

Postdoc

We currently have no openings for postdoc positions. However, there will be an opportunity soon through the SynCell-nExUS programme, in which we are one of the host groups. The first call for applications will open no later than 31 October 2026 and close on 31 December 2026. Applications must be submitted through the TU Delft application portal, which will go live at the end of October.
