Assistant Professor in Biophysics of Living Systems

Job description

Imagine watching the inner workings of a living cell, where the fundamental laws of physics meet the complexity of life at the nanoscale. Since 2010, the Department of Bionanoscience at Delft University of Technology has been on a pioneering quest to decode these principles. We are a multidisciplinary and international community of scientists driven by a singular mission: to understand how interactions at the smallest scales give rise to biological function or the onset of disease. From observing the dance of single molecules to the bottom-up construction of synthetic cells, we bridge the gap between physics and the full complexity of living systems. Now, we invite you to join our group of 19 Principal Investigators at TU Delft to help us write the next chapter in our understanding of Life.

The Department of Bionanoscience, part of the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience Delft, is a world-leading environment for fundamental research at the interface of biology and physics. We focus on biological processes from the level of single molecules to the full complexity of living cells. We seek an early career Principal Investigator who has demonstrated excellence in experimental research and thrives on conducting original research with impact, geared to understanding how life works, either at the molecular or cellular level. We encourage applications from researchers with a biophysics-oriented perspective or approach. Harnessing your communication skills, you inspire and convince funding agencies and partners of your vision and research. You actively seek collaboration with relevant faculties, universities and external stakeholders. In addition, you enjoy mentoring, teaching and interacting with students, while continuously developing yourself and your academic career. Your research will benefit from our in-house facilities, including a central optical microscopy, a cell culture, a protein purification, a cryo-EM, mass spectrometry, flowcytometry, and the Kavli Nanolab Delft cleanroom. Our laboratory space is located in a modern building with dedicated lab areas for building and operating sensitive physical instrumentation.

As a Principal Investigator, you will:

• Establish an independent experimental research line that is complementary to our current strengths in single-molecule biophysics, synthetic biology, and quantitative cell biology.
• Secure external funding through competitive grants (e.g., NWO Vidi, ERC StG) to build and lead a team of PhD students, Postdocs and Technicians.
• Provide excellent education by teaching and developing courses for our unique BSc and MSc programs in Nanobiology; a program at the interface of biology, physics and math.
• Contribute to a collaborative culture, interacting synergistically with existing research groups and participating in the management of the department and our educational program(s).

Job requirements
The ideal candidate is a creative experimentalist who thrives on scientific and engineering challenges. You should possess:

• A PhD in a relevant field (e.g., Biophysics, Biochemistry, Cell biology, Bionanotechnology) and relevant post-doctoral experience.
• An outstanding scientific track record, evidenced by high-quality publications.
• A clear vision for a new, independent experimental research line that uses advanced methodology to probe, manipulate or engineer cellular life or its components.
• A passion for education and the ability to inspire students in an international environment.
• Obtain the University Teaching Qualification (UTQ) within three years.

Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) brings together three scientific disciplines. Combined, they reinforce each other and are the driving force behind the technology we all use in our daily lives. Technology such as the electricity grid, which our faculty is helping to make completely sustainable and future-proof. At the same time, we are developing the chips and sensors of the future, whilst also setting the foundations for the software technologies to run on this new generation of equipment – which of course includes AI. Meanwhile we are pushing the limits of applied mathematics, for example mapping out disease processes using single cell data, and using mathematics to simulate gigantic ash plumes after a volcanic eruption. In other words: there is plenty of room at the faculty for ground-breaking research. We educate innovative engineers and have excellent labs and facilities that underline our strong international position. In total, more than 1000 employees and 4,000 students work and study in this innovative environment.
