MPI for Chemical Energy Conversion: Postdoc and PhD positions 2356 views

Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion (MPI CEC) and the EPR group invites applications for postdoctoral and doctoral positions. The group employs electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques to monitor and characterize paramagnetic states relevant in energy conversion and storage processes. The group develops and apply state-of the art EPR spectrometers ranging from GHz to THz frequencies.
