Postdoc Theoretical Biophysics Scales NL, CD

Job description

Living systems process and respond to signals, and these responses range molecular or electrical changes inside a (neuronal) cell to macroscopic behavioural responses of animals. Both signals and responses occur over time, in a dynamically changing landscape. The goal of this position is to investigate information transfer in dynamical systems, ranging from molecular to macroscopic scales. The position is theoretical but relies on experimental collaborations that span these scales.

Interest in developing at least one of these directions is welcome! The postdoctoral researcher will be a member of the Bauer group at the Bionanoscience department at TU Delft.

• Teaching and advising undergraduates.
• Experimental collaborations, ideally having resulted in publication.
• Independent research projects.
• Projects in the context of molecular processes, i.e. chemical or mechanical information transfer.

• Duration of contract is 2 years. Temporary.
• A job of 38 hours per week.
• Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities.
• An excellent pension scheme via the ABP.
• The possibility to compile an individual employment package every year.
• Discount with health insurers on supplemental packages.
• Flexible working week.
• Every year, 232 leave hours (at 38 hours). You can also sell or buy additional leave hours via the individual choice budget.
• Plenty of opportunities for education, training and courses.
• Partially paid parental leave
• Attention for working healthy and energetically with the vitality program.
