Open PhD / PostDoc position - photocatalytical materials and Mössbauer 
spectroscopy


The Group of Materials for Electrical Engineering and Electronics in the 
Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at TU 
Ilmenau, Germany, seeks a highly motivated PhD student or PostDoc to start as 
soon as possible in the area of Mössbauer spectroscopy and photocatalytical 
materials. The position is embedded within the Institute of Materials Science 
and Engineering and the Institute of Micro- and Nanotechnology MacroNano®.



The position is based on a 3-year research project "Development of an 
online/offline Mössbauer system for investigation of photocatalytical 
materials", which is funded by BMBF. Based at TU Ilmenau, the candidate has 
often travel to ISOLDE (http://isolde.web.cern.ch/ ) in Geneva for 
experiments. The project is a group project together with the University of 
Göttingen, Germany, and University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany. Therefore, 
also travels to these places are required.

Job Description

·         Development of a mobile in-situ Mössbauer system for the 
investigation of photocatalytical materials

·         Set-up of the in-situ Mössbauer system, maintaining and running the 
system

·         Performing of experiments in Ilmenau, Göttingen and at ISOLDE

·         Publication of research results in internationally recognized 
scientific journals and presentation of research results at conferences

·         Assisting in writing research proposals and beam time proposals for 
ISOLDE
