In the group Surface Photonics we are looking for an experimental postdoc to work in the area of plasmonics.

In this project, the postdoctoral fellow will build an optical tweezer/micropipette-based force probe setup and use this instrument to quantitatively study the interactions between solid surfaces functionalized with different...

Recently it has become possible to follow the folding of a single protein using single-molecule techniques. However, folding pathways are generally studied for isolated proteins, even though interactions with chaperones are known...

Our lab employs simple experimental model systems to study fundamental evolutionary processes, using concepts from biology, engineering, and physics

This project asks: what are the implications of the architecture of the cytoskeleton for the design of novel materials?

The aim of this project is to correlate the stochastic spatial dynamics of information-carrying molecules to their function in living cells.

You will study how force generation at dynamic microtubule ends is regulated by end-binding proteins, using microfabrication and optical tweezer techniques.
