University of Amsterdam announce PhD Studentship – Super-Resolution Fluorescence Microscopy in Netherlands

Eligibility:
A Master’s degree in Biochemistry, Cell Biology or Molecular Biology (or related fields). The candidate should have experience with molecular biological techniques (cloning, PCR), protein production and characterization techniques. Affinity with microscopy and spectroscopy is recommended.

The STW-Perspectief programme Nanoscopy: From sharp images to molecular interaction is a large national programme on the development of super-resolution microscopy or ’nanoscopy’ and its applications in biomedical sciences. In the last decade new technologies have been developed that enable achieving resolutions down to 10-50 nm. In contrast, classical microscopy has a limited resolution of ~250 nm. This is a spectacular development, however, the potential of nanoscopy is much higher. Read the rest of this entry »
