At the Leibniz Institute of Photonics Technology (Leibniz-IPHT) we are looking in the Research Department Functional Interfaces, Work Group Photophysics and Photochemistry of Functional Interfaces,
The position is to be filled from September 15th, 2024 at the latest and is initially limited to a period of 3 years.
An extension will be sought if suitable.
The Leibniz-IPHT is a university independent research institute with close connection to the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena and member of the Leibniz association.
In an international collaboration with the team of Prof. Ferdi Karadaş, Bilkent University, Ankara, we want to realize novel pentacyanoferrates and study the solvent-dependent photophysics of a series of pyridinium-pentacyanoferrate complexes. Upon variation of the electron acceptor pyridyl and pyridinium ligands we will investigate the photophysics of the complexes and their function as photosensitizers in light-driven water oxidation when combined with Co-catalysts.
Thus, we offer a challenging interdisciplinary PhD project in the larger context of artificial photosynthesis. Furthermore, the project offers the opportunity to obtain an international perspective by collaboration with the team from Bilkent University and extended research stays in Ankara.
Salary is in accordance with the regulations of the TV-L and your qualifications and experience.
We are a modern, internationally focused research institute. Work-life balance is one of our central concerns. We value diversity and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of gender, disability, nationality or ethnic and social origin. If women are underrepresented in the area of the advertised position, they will be given preferential consideration in the hiring process if they are equally qualified.
The project is a collaborative project between the Research Department Functional Interfaces at Leibniz-IPHT and the Chemistry Department of Bilkent University, Ankara. We expect the willingness of the successful candidate to repeatedly travel to Ankara and perform extended lab sessions (up to four consecutive weeks) at Bilkent University.
If you have any questions, please contact Prof. Dr. Benjamin Dietzek-Ivanšić, phone: +49 (0) 3641 206 332, mail: benjamin.dietzek@leibniz-ipht.de.
