The Dutch Technology Foundation (STW) has awarded a consortium of scientists 
and companies in The Netherlands with an "STW-perspectief programme". The aim 
of this program is to make modern nanoscopy technology broadly applicable in 
biomedical research. It is their ambition to develop new technology that enables 
full implementation of nanoscopy in biomedical research. Program leader prof. Erik 
Manders (Leeuwenhoek Centre for Advanced Microscopy, Amsterdam) believes 
that within 10 years nanoscopy will become standard technique with important 
consequences for biomedical research, health care and the high-tech industry. 


In this program, 12 positions are available for enthusiastic and talented PhD 
students and post-docs who like to contribute to the next step in advanced 
microscopy: “biomedical nanoscopy”. Candidates with a background ranging from 
engineering, physics and (bio)chemistry to cell biology and molecular biology are 
encouraged to send their CV, motivation-letter according to the directions 
mentioned on the web-site http://STW-nanoscopy.nl . For more information 
please contact manders(at)uva.nl.
