Offer Description

The Chemnitz University of Technology is an established innovative scientific and educational institution, which takes on the challenges connected with the competition between the universities. The Chemnitz University of Technology offers attractive employment for personalities with proven scientific excellence who want to contribute to the further innovative development.

The Collaborative Research Center TRR-386 “Hyperpolarization in Molecular Systems”, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), is centered at the Leipzig University and the Chemnitz University of Technology with partners at RWTH Aachen University, University of Augsburg, Technical University of Munich, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, University of Rostock.

The TRR-386 will focus on the controlled realization of transient spin order of electrons or magnetic nuclei, i.e., of hyperpolarization, in molecular systems. This is expected to have a major impact in three research areas of chemistry and physics, namely magnetic resonance, spintronics and spin-chemistry which will be merged. To this end, the TRR-386 will contribute to the fundamental understanding of generation of electronic and nuclear spin hyperpolarization, its transport through molecular structures and its control. We expect implications towards applications for example in medicine, multifunctional electronics, and efficient chemical catalysis.

Starting at 01.03.2024, the Faculty of Natural Sciences, Professorship Semiconductor Physics offers an employment for a part-time


PhD Position (m/f/x)
(75%, E 13 TV-L)

The fixed-term employment for 36 months (extendable for up to 9 more months) follows the Act of Temporary Employment in Higher Education (WissZeitVG) and the Saxon Law on Universities (SächsHSG) in the respective current version.

 

Selection will occur according to suitability, qualification and professional performance. Chemnitz University of Technology aims to particularly support women and therefore explicitly asks for applications from qualified female candidates. Severely disabled persons or those with an equivalent status will be considered preferentially in accordance with SGB IX.

Your tasks comprise

  • Fabrication of devices with lateral and vertical geometry based on chiral molecules, oligomers and their heterostructures
  • Electrical and magnetotransport characterization
  • Determination of the charge carrier mobility and spin diffusion length
  • Correlation with structural properties

The position aims at your further scientific development and qualification. If you want to join our interdisciplinary and highly motivated team in academically exploring a topic of high practical relevance in moving away from fossil fuels, you should bring along the following qualifications and traits.

Your profile

  • Completed scientific university studies in the field of physics, or comparable disciplines, which opens the access to the corresponding qualification level
  • Solid knowledge in solid state physics as well as organic semiconductors
  • Knowledge in electrical characterization methods is an advantage
  • Good command of written and spoken English
  • Responsible and independent work
  • Commitment and willingness to work in a team
  • Structured and goal-oriented way of working

Applicants have to fulfil the precondition of employment according to §73 SächsHSG.

Please send your application using the reference »TRR-386-B5-2« and including the usual documents (motivation letter, CV, certificates etc.) electronically as a single PDF file (preferred) or by post, before 02.02.2024 to the address below. For security reasons we cannot consider electronic applications or drafts of applications which are provided for download via links to third parties.
