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 eight research groups in Nanophotonics and Nanophotovoltaics. All projects are described below. AMOLF is a research laboratory with 75 PhD students, 20 postdocs, and over 30 master’s students from many different universities.
On Friday May 17, 2024 14.00-17.00 hrs. AMOLF holds a workshop to present and discuss the master’s projects we have available in the Photovoltaics and Nanophotonics programs.
The planning:
14.00-14.15 Welcome, general introduction about internships at AMOLF
14.15-14.45 The group leaders will introduce themselves and briefly present the available projects.
14.45-15.00 Break
15.05-15.25 Breakout session 1: discuss one project that you signed up for.
15.30-15.50 Breakout session 2: discuss second project that you signed up for.
15.55-16.15 Breakout session 3: discuss potential third project opportunity.
16.20-17.00 Coffee/tea and meet with present Msc & PhD students and ask them questions about their projects and working at AMOLF.
17.00 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 May 10th, 23:59hrs.
Due to 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
