We are looking for Master students who are interested in joining our lab for their Master thesis.

Your tasks:
- Have a keen interest in electron microscopy (EM), fluorescence microscopy and actin structure and function
- Have a keen interest in learning cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET), correlative cryo-focused ion beam milling (cryo-FIB) sample preparation and image processing
- Study actin-based processes critical for health and disease using the cryo-ET workflow, from cell sample preparation and optimization to imaging and data analysis
- Use computational tools for in-cell structural analysis of actin assembly and force generation

Your profile:
- Excellent BSc in biology, physics, biochemistry, bioinformatics, or related field of science
- Knowledge/experience with EM or other structural biology techniques
- Ability to work in an interdisciplinary (combining structural, molecular, cellular and theoretical approaches) and international team of researchers
- Fluency in English

Desirable qualifications:
- Experience with cell culture
- Experience with cryo-EM/ET
- Experience with (cryo-)FIB/SEM sample preparation
- Experience with fluorescence microscopy
- Experience with scientific scripting languages (Python and Matlab)
