Research Scientist (Postdoctoral Researcher) | Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter (Postdoktorand) (m/w/d)

Job Summary

This Postdoctoral Researcher position at the Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden (IFW Dresden) is focused on advanced materials science, specifically the deposition of low-dimensional nanomaterials using a novel, in-house developed aerosol printing process. Daily tasks involve conducting independent research and project development, preparing printable nanomaterial dispersions (inks) in organic solvents, and performing detailed spectroscopic, microscopic, and structural characterization of the printed layers and materials. A critical component of the role is process optimization for ink preparation and printing parameters to ensure the preservation of the desired optical, structural, and electronic properties of the nanomaterials. The ideal candidate must hold a completed Ph.D. in Chemistry, Materials Science, or Chemical Engineering, possess strong experience in nanomaterial processing and characterization, and demonstrate a competitive professional profile. The position offers a modern, well-equipped workplace, flexible, family-friendly working hours, and the chance to collaborate with international, interdisciplinary scientists on cutting-edge research fields.
