Postdoc/PhD Position: Surface Science
Diffusion and interaction of large organic molecules
on surfaces
Universität
Bonn, Institut für Physikalische und Theoretische Chemie
We are performing research
in the field of experimental surface science with a focus on the properties
of large semi-conducting organic molecules adsorbed on surfaces. We offer a
postdoc/PhD position (100%/50% TVL 13, depending on qualification of the
candidate) in this field. The project will be mainly based on scanning
tunnelling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy performed on single and aggregated molecules
on well defined surfaces under UHV. The aim is to obtain microscopic information
on the surface-molecule and the intermolecular interactions for larger
organic molecules with functional groups. The work has a background in both
fundamental and applied science, e.g., the realization of semi-conducting
organic devices. It involves a close collaboration with synthetic chemists.
Other techniques, besides STM, to be used are: e.g., diffraction (x-rays, electrons), x-ray standing
waves (synchrotron), and photoelectron spectroscopy.
The candidate should hold a
degree in physics or chemistry (Diploma/Master) and have a background or
interest in surface science and molecular physics. She/he should be
prepared to work at a high level of experimental skills. The project will
be embedded in the collaborative research center
SFB 813 ("Chemistry at Spin Centers")
at the University of Bonn. We expect the candidate to participate in the teaching of
students in a German speaking environment (lab classes, seminars, etc.). The
postdoc position is presently limited to 2 years.
Interested candidates are encouraged to send or
email their application including a statement of research interest, a CV,
copies of all degrees and grades, and, if applicable, published articles or
other relevant material to the address below.
