Internships

We are a broad research institute with many different research groups. Because of this, the research groups manage student placement themselves. If you are looking for an internship position or student project, please contact the research groups directly by contacting the involved PI or group leader. 

PhD positions

As a PhD candidate you are an employee of the university. More information about obtaining a PhD at the UvA can be found here on the UvA site.
To apply for available PhD positions, please check our vacancies. 

Bachelor & Master programmes

We contribute to several Bachelor and Master programmes. However, as a research institute we are not coordinating these programmes ourselves. Please use the links below to find specific contact details for study-related questions on the programme of your interest. 

The biological Data Science Center

Biologists at the Science Park of the University of Amsterdam often generate large amounts of data. The Biological Data Science Center (bioDSC) was established to assist researchers in analyzing that data effectively.

The center's primary goal is to empower researchers to conduct their own analyses. To achieve this, bioDSC offers workshops, online tutorials, and in-person mentoring. It operates with an open-door policy, encouraging researchers to seek assistance by sending an email, visiting one of its desks, or posting quick questions on its Slack channel.

Approach

The center’s core members are embedded within various research groups at the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences (SILS), fostering integration within the research community at Science Park. Additionally, other SILS researchers occasionally volunteer to contribute to data analysis efforts and promote good research practices.
