The Department of Colloids Chemistry (Director Prof. Dr. M. Antonietti) at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany invites applications from outstanding young scientists for the position of PhD student (m/f/d).
We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student in the field of materials science who is passionate about both physical chemistry and nanoscale characterization of materials. The candidate should have a degree in Chemistry/Materials Science/Physics or closely related fields, with a strong background and interests in transmission electron microscopy and/or spectroscopy techniques.
The PhD student will study fundamental aspects of the formation, transformation and self-organization of different carbon-based materials and colloidal systems applying advanced scanning transmission electron microscopy techniques both ex-situ and under external stimuli (e.g. temperature, electric current, etc.). The main goal is to study the chemistry and local structure transformations at the atomic scale and to give nanoscale insight on the physical properties of studied materials.
The position is available from March 2022 with the flexible starting date in 2022.
To submit your candidature please send an email to: nadja.tarakina@mpikg.mpg.de, with subject PhDTEM – [Name, Surname], with attached a PDF version of your CV and a brief cover letter.
Please send us your application in English until the 20th of February 2022.
The candidate CV will be evaluated internally and the selected candidates will be invited for an interview. After the interview candidates will receive an email with the final decision.
The accepted candidate will join the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, Colloid Chemistry Department, electron microscopy group led by Dr. habil. Nadja Tarakina.
The Max Planck Society strives for gender equality and diversity. We welcome applications from all backgrounds. The Max Planck Society is committed to increasing the number of individuals with disabilities in its workforce and therefore encourages applications from such qualified individuals.
