PhD Student: Electron Microscopy of Soft Functional Materials (f/m/d)
Posted on 15 October 2025
Location: Saarbrücken, Saarland, Germany
Closing Date: 22 November 2025
We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student (f/m/d) in the field of materials science who is passionate about both physical chemistry and nanoscale characterization of materials.
The PhD position is part of the E-MOSAIC project, which is focused on the development of electron microscopy approaches for the characterization of complex hybrid materials at the atomic scale. As a member of the project team, you will contribute to establishing and applying low-electron-dose workflows for the analysis of the local structure in soft functional materials (semi-crystalline and amorphous materials) using electron diffraction and electron energy loss spectroscopy methodologies. You will apply statistical methods for the combined analysis of the obtained data with the aim to retrieve information about both local coordination and chemical composition in these materials at the nanoscale.
