Dear Colleagues, 

The Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 1633 ‘Pushing Electrons with Protons – Unifying Multi-Electron Redox Catalysis by Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer’ at the Georg-August-University Göttingen, Germany has 11 PhD Positions (f, m, d) starting on April 1, 2024. The closing date for applications is March 15, 2024. 

The subproject C05 of Prof. Palakkal entitled ‘PCET-active Anodes for Electrosynthesis’ offers one PhD position (75% TVL-E 13) on ‘Growth and Characterization of Epitaxial thin films of TM-doped ZnO‘. We require a candidate with the following: 

Profile 

  • Recently obtained Master’s degree in physics, materials sciences, or a closely related subject areas 
  • Communication skills in English are required. Good German language skills are desirable 
  • You are a team worker and self-motivated to attain project goals

Preferred experiences (experiments, data collection, and analysis) 

  • Thin film growth by pulsed laser deposition/molecular beam epitaxy 
  • Structural characterization of materials by XRD, XPS, etc. 
  • Optical/magnetic/magnetotransport/transport characterization techniques
