3-year PhD position time-resolved Spectroscopy, TU Munich, Germany

Fully financed 3-year PhD Position in Experimental (Time-Resolved) Spectroscopy starting as soon as possible.

Our group ‘Dynamic Spectroscopy’ at the Department of Chemistry, School of Natural Sciences, TU Munich, specializes in time-resolved spectroscopy to tackle challenges in photophysics and photochemistry as well as in material sciences. (https://www.ch.nat.tum.de/dynspec/startseite/). We work with (time-resolved) fluorescence, excitation and absorption spectrometers. We have installed three separate amplified fs laser system as the primary light source for e.g. transient absorption spectroscopy.

To be considered, candidates bring the following qualifications:
1) A Masters-degree in chemistry or physics
2) Experience with spectroscopy of molecules and/or solids
3) Ability to work with and inspire Master-students
4) Ability to work in an international environment
5) Ability to work with specialists from other fields such as inorganic chemistry in an interdisciplinary project.

Tasks:
1) Construct and maintain a photochemical experiment with visible (LED) excitation and an FT-IR spectrometer to monitor the reaction progress.
2) Work with others to construct and maintain a transient absorption experiment.
3) Contribute to the teaching activities of the group

We offer:
1) A fully DFG-financed PhD-position for three years on a 67% basis (27 h per week, E13 TV-L). Severely disabled applicants will be given preference if they are otherwise equally qualified.
2) A vivid research environment at TU Munich, with close connections to an ongoing Collaborative Research Centre (https://crc325.de/) and the cluster of excellence e-conversion (https://www.e-conversion.de/)
3) The Technical University of Munich is seeking to increase the proportion of female employees. Hence, female scientists are expressly encouraged to apply.
