Stellenticket Freie Universität Berlin

As part of a cooperation with the Institute Laue-Langevin (ILL), a world-leading international research lnstitute in Grenoble, France, the Gradzielski group (TU Berlin) is offering a 3-year postdoc position.
The primary field of activity is independent, excellent research and teaching on colloidal systems in the area of soft matter, using the highest-quality facilities of neutron research (e.g. SANS) at ILL as well as the well-equipped PCSM laboratory in Grenoble. ln this context, independent research activity, generally in the field of colloidal systems (soft-matter) is desired, with a particular focus e,g. on the effect of electric fields or pressure on colloidal systems, with the aim of achieving a thorough understanding of thermodynamics, kinetics and structure of such systems. An active role in user support and instrument development, especially in small-angle neutron scattering (SANS ), is desired.
After a 2-3-month orientation period at TU Berlin, the regular workplace is located at EPN campus in Grenoble, France, a highly regarded international research campus where several institutes (ILL, ESRF ,EMBL, ISS) are dedicated to investigating soft matter and biological systems.

• Successfully completed university degree (Master, Diploma or equivalent) and successfully completed PhD in Chemistry or Physics (or a related subject)
• Comprehensive knowledge in the fields of colloid and polymer chemistry are required, as well as in the application of scattering methods for the characterisation of such systems. This also includes competences in the fields of physical and analytical chemistry, the physics of materials and especially a thorough knowledge in characterizing nanostructured systems in general
• Very good knowledge of English required

Desirable:

• Good German and/or French language skills are an advantage
