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 April 18, 2023 from 09.00-12.00 hrs. AMOLF holds a LIVE workshop to present & discuss the master’s projects we have available in the Photovoltaics and Nanophotonics programs.

The planning:

09.00-09.15 Arrival and coffee

09.15-09.30 Welcome, general introduction about internships at AMOLF

09.30-10.15 The group leaders will introduce themselves and briefly present the available projects.

10.30-10.50 Breakout session 1: discuss one project that you signed up for.

10.55-11.15 Breakout session 2: discuss second project that you signed up for.

11.20-11.40 Breakout session 3: discuss potential third project opportunity.

11.40-12.00 Coffee/tea and meet with present Msc & PhD students and ask them questions about their projects and working at AMOLF.

12.00 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 Friday, April 14th.

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 Ethan Kensett at kensett@amolf.nl
