PhD Position: Electron Microscopic Detection of Nanoparticles in Cells Nanoparticles are frequently used as additives in food and articles of daily use which necessitates studies of possible adverse effects on biological systems. In this context, the Laboratory for Electron Microscopy at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is recruiting a PhD student for an interdisciplinary project concerned with the detection of nanoparticles in cells. The PhD candidate with a Diplom/Master in physics is expected to use advanced electron microscopic techniques for nanoparticle detection in cells and image simulations to understand contrast formation. Further tasks involve the optimization of electron microscopic techniques and participation in cell culture experiments. |

Postdoctoral Researcher in Scanning Probe Microscopy of Nanocatalysts Applications are invited for a postdoctoral associate position. The position is 1-3 years and is funded by the European Research Council (ERC) in a project headed by Associate Prof. Jeppe V. Lauritsen at the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center, Aarhus University, Denmark. The successful candidate will be joining a small team seeking to understand some of the cluster-support synergies and size-effects which have been revealed in catalytic systems, e.g. for transition metals on some metal oxides. A particular challenge and advance of the project is the application of non-contact Atomic Force Microscopy (nc-AFM) to atomically characterize relevant metal oxide surfaces and model catalysts based on real metal oxides or sulfides used in heterogeneous catalysis. |

PhD Position: Microstructural Characterization by TEM The successful candidate will work on the characterization by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) of the samples provided by the network participating institutions. Previous experience on this characterization method will be considered a great asset, but is not strictly required. The position can lead to a PhD diploma. The candidate will receive training on microstructural analysis using TEM by highly experienced scientists. Additional training on other characterization methods, material growth and applications will be provided by the project partner institutions during secondments, training schools, courses, workshops and tutorial days. Applications should be sent to Prof. E.K. Polychroniadis (polychr@auth.gr) and should include a detailed CV |
