1 Position as PhD student / Research Associate
Currently, we have an opening for a position as Research Associate / PhD student (job advertisement as PDF file).
Please see below for further information.
Research Area: Exfoliation and Functionalization of emerging 2D Materials including material preparation and characterization and study the (opto)-electronic properties
Research Path: Organic/Polymer Path
Terms: Starting as soon as possible, one position for 12 months with the possibility of extension.
Position and Requirements
Within this position, the Chair of Molecular Functional Materials is focused on the synthesis and exfoliation of 2D nanomaterials, which emerge as outstanding candidates for a great number of electronic applications. This research aims to (electro)chemically exfoliate layered structures to achieve 2D materials bearing novel electronic functions.
The successful candidates will be responsible for: Design of layered structure, their (electro)chemical exfoliation, Functionalization of 2D materials, study their morphology and (opto)-electronic properties.
We aim at attracting the best talent in the respective research fields and expect the following: an outstanding university degree and a master degree in inorganic/organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, or similar; previous experience in 2D materials preparation; very good interpersonal and communication skills; in particular, the ability to effectively work in collaborative research efforts; an independent, target- and solution-driven work attitude; inter- and multidisciplinary thinking; strong motivation and interest to join one of the most ambitious interdisciplinary research centers; fluency in English - written and oral.
What we offer
You will join a team of enthusiastic scientists who pursue creatively their individual research agenda inspired by the research center’s innovative approach and support. Your research will be fostered by the cfaed philosophy to promote young researchers, which includes: access to state of the art research of leading academic institutes; promotion of gender equality and family-friendly work environment.
Informal enquiries can be submitted to Prof. Dr. Xinliang Feng, Tel +49 (351) 463 43250; Email: xinliang.feng@tu-dresden.de and Dr. Ali Shaygan Nia, Tel +49 (351) 463 40413; Email: ali.shaygan_nia@tu-dresden.de.
