PhD Position in Perovskite Nanomaterials Synthesis and Characterization at University of Rostock University of Rostock in Germany

University of Rostock is advertising a PhD-oriented Research Assistant position in the Institute of Physics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, within the working group of Nanostructures and Nanomaterials and the collaborative research center SFB 1477 LiMatI.

The project focuses on physics, chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, and especially the synthesis and characterization of perovskite nanomaterials. The advertised work includes colloidal chemistry of nanomaterials, development of new synthetic routes for quasi-two-dimensional semiconductor nanomaterials, and detailed characterization using TEM, SEM, AFM, XRD, TCSPC, transient absorption, and UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy. The role also involves building optical research setups, participating in seminars and workshops, publishing results, and contributing to teaching in experimental physics.

This is a temporary, funded research assistant position starting 01.07.2026 and ending 31.12.2029, with 30 hours/week and remuneration at pay group 13 TV-L. The post is explicitly tied to scientific qualification toward a doctorate, so it is effectively a PhD opening rather than a postdoctoral or master's call.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold a completed university degree (master’s, diploma, state exam, or equivalent) in physics, chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology, or a related field, with good results. Strong English skills are mandatory, and prior experience in colloidal synthesis, spectroscopy, or electron microscopy is preferred.

Deadline: 2026-05-21.
