PhD Applications

Biomineralization

One PhD student position is available in the Materials Chemistry Research Group. The research is interdisciplinary encompassing the fields of materials chemistry and biochemistry. The research project will focus on the fabrication of artificial diatomees and sponge spicules. The candidate should have a Diplom/Master in materials/physical chemistry/biochemistry or a related field. Experience in materials synthesis or biochemistry is highly desirable. This is an excellent opportunity for young scientists to pursue research in a highly stimulating and leading edge environment.


POLYMAT - "Polymers in Advanced Technologies"

The purpose of this Graduate Class of Excellence "Polymers in Advanced Materials" (POLYMAT) is to provide young researchers with a comprehensive training in advanced methods of synthesis and characterization of polymer materials. This includes research in how to design and to optimize polymer-based materials and processes for advanced technologies.
