Deadline: 4 Jan. 2013
Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich -Department of Physics
Applications are invited for a PhD candidate to work on modelling of nanoparticle interactions and assembly at Photonics and Optoelectronics Group, Dept. of Physics, LMU Munich (see http://www.phog.physik.uni-muenchen.de ). The project aims at the development of cost-effective nanoparticle assembly techniques for the production of novel hierarchically ordered structures. To this end the studies will focus on understanding the nanoparticle interactions in order to achieve improved control over the assembly process. The research project is done within the European Union FP7 NMP framework and will involve collaboration with several other institutions located in other EU countries.
The applicants should hold (or are about to obtain) a Masters degree in physics, physical chemistry or a related subject, with a keen interest in nanoscience and nanotechnology. First-hand experience with nanoparticle chemistry/physics, computational and/or experimental studies of nanoparticle interactions and assembly, Mie scattering modelling, dynamic light scattering and electron microscopy methods will be an advantage. We seek enthusiastic and independently-minded individuals with excellent oral and written communication skills who can work in a multi-disciplinary team. Fluency in English is essential.
Applications should be submitted by email to Dr. Jacek Stolarczyk via the Apply button below (jacek.stolarczyk@physik.unimuenchen.de) quoting the reference (JS/2012-NPS-3/AC) in the subject line. The application should include the CV of the candidate, a cover letter describing the motivation to work on the project and a certificate of the degree, all three as attachments.
The post is available from 1 February 2013 or as soon as possible thereafter. Quote reference: JS/2012-NPS-3/AC
