- Incorporation into nanoscale systems such as organic polymer particles or silica particles, and surface functionalisation of the nanoscale materials
- Analytical characterisation of the materials and optical-spectroscopic investigations of the photoluminescence properties
- Investigations into the suitability as white light-emitting OLED materials and material optimisation
Your qualifications:
- Completed university studies (diploma, master) in the field of physical chemistry or comparable
- Very good knowledge and experience in the optical-spectroscopic characterisation of fluorophores, preferably organic dyes, and their photophysics
- Very good knowledge of optical spectroscopic methods (preferably fluorescence spectroscopy)
- Good knowledge of English (spoken and written)
- Good skills in writing scientific texts
- Good knowledge and experience in the production of nanoparticles and their surface modification and characterisation is desirable
- Interest in the development of functional materials for photonic applications such as white OLEDs is advantageous
- Interest in interdisciplinary work is desirable
- Good communication and information behaviour, initiative/commitment and ability to make decisions, ability to work in a team and willingness to cooperate, flexibility as well as conceptual, strategic and innovative thinking skills
We offer:
