Application Info

We are looking for motivated and enthusiastic doctoral researchers (f/m/d) to join our team!

CRC 1411 is an initiative funded since 2020 by DFG focused on predictive model based design and practical process realisation of particulate products. These range from single nanoparticles with controlled shape and composition, through hierarchically organised assemblies of particles, up to particle packings with optimised optical properties. Such particles are produced by continuous syntheses directly coupled to classification by chromatography. The research is carried out at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg and involves the Departments of Chemical and Biological Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics. One project is located at the NanoEnergieTechnikZentrum of the University of Duisburg-Essen.

Detailed information on the idea of CRC1411, scientific progress in the first funding period, and the scope of all projects are available at:

www.crc1411.research.fau.eu/research/projects

CRC 1411 offers appealing benefits to doctoral researchers, including wide access to equipment, collaborations, dual mentoring, soft skills, support for conference contributions, the possibility for research stays abroad, summer/winter schools etc. These measures are provided by the integrated Research Training Group.

Your qualifications:

  • Master’s  degree or equivalent in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics or a closely related field with competitive grades.
  • Experience relating to at least one CRC project, for example particle synthesis, self-assembly, porous materials, chromatography, and simulations, modelling or optimization of such systems.
  • Able to work in an interdisciplinary team.
  • High level of independence and diligence.
  • Able to present ideas and results to a broad audience.
  • Proficient in the English language; proficiency in the German language is beneficial though not essential.

Your online application should include:

  • Letter of motivation including justification of your suitability for the CRC 1411 project(s) (maximum 3) which are most attractive to you (max. 4000 characters)
  • CV listing: educational and vocational history, key skills and academic achievements, publications and oral presentations (max. 2 page)
  • Copy of your Master degree certificate (if not yet available, please send Bachelor certificate instead) along with full academic transcripts
  • Two academic letters of recommendation
