University of Potsdam with the Innovation Centre (ZIK) for fibre-based Spectroscopy and Sensing and the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) invites applications for 2 Postdoctoral Scientist or PhD Student. The project will focus on the experimental analysis of optical properties of highly scattering and polydisperse liquid dispersions consisting of particles or droplets.
Duration: up to 3 years (temporary positions)
Requirements:
- Applicant must hold Diploma, Master or PhD in Chemistry, Physics, Applied Mathematics, Engineering or a related discipline
- Applicant must have experience in (one or more) Laser spectroscopy and optical sensing; Light scattering; Fibre-optical instrumentation and photonics; Radio frequency electronics; Programming for instrument control and modelling (e.g. LabView, C++); Modelling of radiative transport in strongly scattering materials (MC-simulation, analytical description); Instrumental analytics (particle sizing, refractive index measurements, etc.); Synthesis of inorganic and polymer dispersions.
- Applicants are expected to possess high interdisciplinary research interest, and a willingness to travel (contribution to conferences etc.).
Applications:
Applications must include the following:
- Motivation letter
- CV
- Certificates
