Open Positions
Ph.D. Student in Molecular Photonics
Research field:
Photobiology, drug delivery systems, photophysical properties
Title: Fluorescence monitoring of organocatalytic events
In this project at the interface of physical and organic chemistry we will investigate the mechanisms of ractions catalyzed by organic molecules by means of fluorescence spectroscopy. We will exploit the high sensitivity of fluorescence to monitor reactions by looking at the state of catalyst, reactants or products, down to the level of individual molecules.
Requirements:
Applicants must have an M.Sc. degree in Chemistry and be strongly motivated to conduct fundamental scientific research. Training in experimental physical chemistry and affinity with molecular (organic) chemistry are necessary. The PhD student should be able to handle chemical systems (accurately prepared concentrations, oxygen free conditions, etc.), to acquire data with spectroscopic equipment (steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence, confocal microscopy) and to analyze the results with computer software. Basic programming skills are indispensible.
