Job Summary

This doctoral researcher position at the INM - Leibniz Institute for New Materials focuses on the self-assembly of nanoplatelets (NPLs) for advanced optical applications. The successful candidate will be involved in tuning the molecular structure of ligands and modifying particle surfaces to understand how these changes affect NPL assembly and optical properties. Utilizing advanced scattering and microscopy techniques, you will quantify colloidal stability and self-assembly into superstructures, and develop data analysis protocols for structural and optical characterization. This role offers the opportunity to extend photophysical models and collaborate with TU Dresden, contributing to cutting-edge research in 2D materials and publishing scientific papers. It's an attractive position for a motivated individual seeking to advance their research career in a dynamic, interdisciplinary, and international environment.
