Germany: PhD scholarship within the Research Training Group „Nano- and Energy-research”

Deadline: 15 Nov. 2014

3-years PhD scholarship (Georg-Lichtenberg-Stipendium) within the Research Training Group „Nano- and Energy-research”
supported by the state of Lower Saxony.
The newly established Research Training Group (RTG) “Nano- and Energy Research” is aiming at investigating the molecular basis of energy conversion processes in nanostructures. The research projects have a strongly interdisciplinary character involving both project leaders and students from Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. The research topics are focused on fundamental problems in the conversion of light into electric and/or chemical energy, energy storage, as well as magneto- or chemo-reception. Projects encompass the fabrication of nanostructures, analytical microscopy of their morphology and composition, as well as the spectroscopic detection and characterization of energy conversion, in particular on ultrafast time scales. In close collaboration with the Hochschule Emden/Leer, the RTG at the University of Oldenburg offers broad and comprehensive education and training in all the pertinent experimental and theoretical methods. With this, we expect to gain an in-depth microscopic understanding of existing physically and chemically relevant model systems as well as to generate ideas for the development of radically new conversion systems.
