Gestalte deine Karriere als Research Associate bei Universität Hamburg

Your responsibilities

Research associates will be expected primarily to teach and conduct research. The research associate will also have the opportunity to pursue further academic qualifications, in particular a doctoral dissertation. At least one-third of set working hours will be made available for the research associate’s own academic work.

The candidate will help developing understanding of chemical reactions leading to formation of photoactive materials. This will involve studying the short and long-range ordering preceeding the emergence of nanostructures in solution and structure-function relation of materials. The focus will be on identifying the relevant time scales and develop new experimental protocols. The candidates will perform, either independently, or in the collaboration with the group members, LUCENT II project members and international collaborators, X-ray synchrotron experiments and analyse the data.

The teaching load comprises 2 hours p/w.
