About this position

Philipps-Universität Marburg is offering doctoral research positions in the Department of Physics and the Marburg Center for Quantum Materials and Sustainable Technologies (mar.quest), within the Functional Materials research group led by Prof. Dr. Kerstin Volz.

The research is part of the DFG-funded SynDiPET project, “Synergistic Design of Proton-Conducting Ceramics for Energy Technology.” The project investigates the targeted synthesis and properties of fuel cell materials that can support the energy transition. The doctoral researcher will focus on structural and electronic characterization of these materials and on understanding structure–property relationships.

The work uses advanced electron microscopy and materials characterization infrastructure. Available methods include focused ion beam milling with noble gases and gallium, conventional scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and state-of-the-art STEM facilities in the ATEMMA research building. These facilities include precession electron diffraction, high-end spectroscopy, monochromated beams, and 4D-STEM cameras. In-situ experiments can be used to study structural evolution in fuel cell materials during synthesis or operation.

Responsibilities include electron microscopic quantification of material structure, composition, and electronic properties; application and further development of methods such as ptychography and electron energy loss spectroscopy; in-situ investigations under synthesis and operating conditions; and close collaboration with sample-preparation and device-development teams. The role combines experimental research, scientific services in research and teaching, and independent work toward a doctorate.

The doctoral researcher will join an international, highly motivated research environment with access to cutting-edge instrumentation and professional-development opportunities through Marburg Research Academy, the International Office, and the Higher Education Didactics Office.

Funding details

Part-time employment at 75% of regular working hours for three years, with salary and benefits according to the public-service position in the state of Hesse, Germany: TV-H salary group E 13 at 75%.

What's required

Applicants must hold an MSc degree or equivalent in Physics, Materials Science, or a similar discipline. A strong foundation in solid-state physics, enthusiasm for experimental research and cutting-edge instrumentation, experience in electron microscopy, and basic knowledge of ceramic materials are expected. Applicants must be willing to pursue their own scientific qualification and doctoral research.
