(02) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD position in the field of carbon-based quantum materials
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a strong experimental background in materials chemistry, solid state physics or nanoscience who wants to pursue cutting-edge research at a world-class level. Within a large-scale project, we aim at developing carbon-based quantum materials for next-generation quantum technologies, with a strong focus on atomically precise graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). Within this project, you will work on the on-surface synthesis and characterization of GNRs with exotic properties (spin chains, topological quantum phases) that make them highly relevant for integration into quantum devices. To preserve GNR properties upon substrate transfer and device integration, you will investigate specific GNR edge modifications such as hydrogen passivation as chemical and electronic protection steps. Within this context, you will also develop Raman spectroscopy methodologies to characterize the edge modifications and to benchmark the quality, robustness and reversibility of the passivation strategies.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Student for the Development of Safe and Sustainable by Design Methods
This PhD project in the context of the European Doctoral Network MELOMANES aims to develop a Safe and Sustainable by Design Methodology for biomedical applications, based on a multidimensional safety and sustainability concept incorporating risk assessment and life cycle assessment (LCA). The developed methodology will be applied to the specific case of nanoparticles used for treatment of melanoma.
Deadline : Open until filled
(04) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Student advancing in vitro to in vivo assessments
This PhD project in the context of the European project MACRAME aims to further develop the use of in vitro data in environmental and human risk assessment and life cycle assessment. In alignment with the EU strategies to secure the safety and sustainability of enabling and emerging technologies, the MACRAME Project focusses on the development of methodologies that are applicable to “Advanced Materials” and that are aligned with future-oriented innovation, safety and sustainability considerations. This will be achieved in close collaboration with the project partners.

(05) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: Biomedical PhD Student (100%)
The main objective of the project is to establish a vascularized glioblastoma-on-a-chip model to assist in the prediction of the patient response to treatment, to screen for anti-cancer therapeutics, and to evaluate novel drug-delivery systems. In this way, we generate a relevant alternative to complement animal models being used for drug development.
Deadline : Open until filled
(06) PhD Degree – Fully Funded
PhD position summary/title: PhD Student position in the field of thin-film solar cells
We are looking for a student motivated to contribute to the development of thin-film CIGS photovoltaic devices. The researcher in this position is responsible for the fabrication and characterization of solar cells and layers based on the CIGS material system. The researcher goals are to understand and overcome limitations of devices based on new alloyed CIGS absorbers with high bandgap, explore the absorber processing limits and develop electrical contacts, in view of new applications such as bifacial and semi-transparent solar cells for tandem applications.
