Positions for Graduate Students & Postdoctoral Fellows
Molecular Nanoscience & Chemical Physics of Interfaces
Several experimental Master’s, Ph.D. and Postdoctoral positions are
available in the field of surface chemical physics and nanoscale science
with functional molecules. Research at E20 aims at the fundamental
understanding of interface phenomena and their control for the design of
functional nanoarchitectures in reduced dimensions. We investigate and
manipulate individual nano-objects and highly organized supramolecular
systems. Utilizing scanning probe microscopy tools we examine the interior
of complex molecules and develop self-assembly protocols for nanotextured
surfaces. With advanced spectroscopy techniques we study charge transfer and
electronic reconfiguration processes at ultimate temporal resolution. These
activities promote the development of novel bottom-up fabrication
methodologies and the molecular-level engineering of materials with tailored
properties.
Specific research topics include :
• single molecule manipulation and tunneling spectroscopy
• biomolecular self-assembly
• supramolecular engineering
• ultrafast charge-transfer reactions
• surface photochemistry
• nanostructuring for electron confinement
• molecular switches and motors
• molecular magnetism
• solid / liquid interfaces
Part of this research is conducted within the excellence cluster Munich
Center for Advanced Photonics (www.map.uni-muenchen.de) and the European
Science Foundation project FunSmarts (www.fzk.de/funsmarts). Further
information can be found at www.e20.ph.tum.de.
We are looking for motivated students and researchers with team spirit and
background knowledge in Nanoscale Chemistry or Physics, or Surface Science.
