Are you a master’s student in Physics, Chemistry or a related field, and are you looking for an interesting master’s project?
The NWO-Institute AMOLF, located at Science Park Amsterdam, has master’s projects available in 8 research groups in Nanophotonics and Nanophotovoltaics. All projects are described below. AMOLF is a research laboratory with 60 PhD students, 20 postdocs, and over 30 master’s students from many different universities.
On Tuesday May 10, 2021 from 12.00-14.00 hrs. AMOLF holds a LIVE workshop to present & discuss the master’s projects we have available in the Photovoltaics and Nanophotonics programs.
The planning:
12.00-12.10 Welcome, general introduction about internships at AMOLF
12.10-12.40 The group leaders will introduce themselves and briefly present of the available projects.
12.40-13.00 Breakout session 1: discuss one project that you signed up for.
13.00-13.20 Breakout session 2: discuss second project that you signed up for.
13.20-13.40 Breakout session 3: discuss potential third project opportunity.
13.40-14.00 Roam around and meet with present master / PhD students and ask them questions about (the their experience at) AMOLF.
14.00 End
After the Workshop, you can apply for a project.
You can register for the Master Project Workshop by filling in the form below, indicating 2 projects you are most interested in (this helps us plan). Of course, you can get information about all projects during the Workshop. The deadline for registration is Wednesday, May 4th.
Because of immigration regulations we can only offer projects to students that are EU citizens or enlisted at a Dutch University
If you have questions about the workshop, please contact Alex Lambertz at lambertz@amolf.nl.
