Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, Germany, Institute of Physics, Energy and Semiconductor Research Laboratory is offering
3-years PhD scholarship (Georg-Lichtenberg-Stipendium) within the Research Training Group „Nano- and Energy-research”
supported by the state of Lower Saxony.
The newly established Research Training Group (RTG) “Nano- and Energy Research” is aiming at investigating the molecular basis of energy conversion processes in nanostructures. The research projects have a strongly interdisciplinary character involving both project leaders and students from Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. The research topics are focused on fundamental problems in the conversion of light into electric and/or chemical energy, energy storage, as well as magneto- or chemo-reception. Projects encompass the fabrication of nanostructures, analytical microscopy of their morphology and composition, as well as the spectroscopic detection and characterization of energy conversion, in particular on ultrafast time scales. In close collaboration with the Hochschule Emden/Leer, the RTG at the University of Oldenburg offers broad and comprehensive education and training in all the pertinent experimental and theoretical methods. With this, we expect to gain an in-depth microscopic understanding of existing physically and chemically relevant model systems as well as to generate ideas for the development of radically new conversion systems.

The project
The particular project available deals with small molecular organic semiconductors in organic solar cells and photo-detectors. For details see here: http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/en/academic-research/nanoenergy/projects/electrochemistry-and-interfaces/small-molecule-organic-solar-cell/
Your profile
Master or diploma degree giving you a strong background in physics and materials science. You are interested in organic semiconductors and device physics and their structure-morphology-property-relationship. You are a skillful experimentalist and motivated to conduct sample and device preparation, opto-electrical characterization, structural investigations by, e.g. electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, and optical spectroscopy.
The Georg-Lichtenberg-scholarship is readily available. Please send your detailed CV and a letter of motivation preferably by email to Jun.-Prof. Dr. Manuela Schiek (manuela.schiek@uni-oldenburg.de), Institute of Physics, Energy and Semiconductor Research Laboratory, D-26111 Oldenburg until 15.11.2014.
The University of Oldenburg strives to increase the proportion of women in science. Equally qualified female candidates will be given preference (in accordance with local law). Applicants with disabilities will be preferentially considered if equally qualified.
