Postdoc Position - Surface Chemical Physics and Molecular Nanoscience

TUM - Technical University Munich

Munich, Germany

Project:

We aim to use the unique optical, photophysical, electrochemical, and structural properties of porphyrins in conjunction with novel linker structures to affect a transformational advance in the molecular design and control of interfacial nanoconstructs with tunable electronic, photonic, biomedical, and chemical functionalities. The prospects of porphyrin-based 1D, 2D, and 3D materials for device development will be assessed in collaboration with research partners from industry and academia. A key concept is to combine tetrapyrroles as ‘functional’ platforms with rigid hydrocarbon linkers (such as cubanes and bicyclopentane) as building blocks of choice for the on-surface synthesis of atomically precise nanostructures and networks. These systems will have tunable chemical and photophysical properties for the translational development of platform technologies in the advanced materials sciences.

Requirements:

Ph.D. in chemistry or physics with experience in nanoscale science, a solid background in surface science, previous exposure to scanning probe microscopy or UHV-based techniques, fluent English, proof of scientific publishing, legal ability to travel within the EU, and commitment to work in highly diverse and multicultural research groups.
