Join the NANOCONFINER project and explore how nanoconfinement can transform the molecular environment from a passive spectator into a powerful tool for controlling photophysical behavior.
Join us in pushing the frontiers of molecular photophysics and gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art spectroscopic techniques. Apply today and help reveal the principles that govern energy conversion at the molecular scale.
Using advanced spectroscopic techniques, you will investigate charge separation, charge transport, and energy-transfer dynamics in multichromophoric molecular systems, generating the fundamental knowledge needed to design the next generation of organic materials for energy conversion and light-driven technologies.
This Is What You Are Going to Do
You will investigate excited-state processes using state-of-the-art spectroscopic methods, such as:
- Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy (UV-Vis, IR)
- Time-resolved luminescence (TCSPC, streak camera)
- Steady-state optical spectroscopy and photophysical characterization
You will analyze your data and discuss them in writing, or at group meetings and conferences.
This Is What We Ask of You
We seek talented and enthusiastic candidates who have recently completed, or are close to completing, a Master's degree in physical chemistry, chemical physics, or a closely related field.
The ideal candidate should possess:
- A strong background in spectroscopy, photochemistry, or excited-state dynamics.
- Experience with time-resolved spectroscopic techniques.
- Experience with scientific data processing and analysis.
- At least basic programming skills (e.g., Python or MATLAB).
- Excellent command of written and spoken English.
Beyond technical qualifications, we are looking for someone who:
- Is genuinely curious about photophysical phenomena.
- Enjoys hands-on work with advanced laser and spectroscopy equipment.
- Likes discussing science and learning new concepts.
- Approaches research with enthusiasm, creativity, and persistence.
