The Research Training Group (RTG) 2767 „Supracolloidal Structures: From Materials to Optical and Electronic Devices“ of TU Dresden, funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), offers 13 positions as Research Associate / PhD Student (m/f/x) starting 1 April 2022. The positions comprise 65…100% of the full-time weekly hours as specified below and are initially limited for 3 years, with the option of extension. The period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term Research Contracts Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz-WissZeitVG). The positions aim at obtaining further academic qualifications (e.g. doctoral degree). Find all positions on our vacancies page!

About the RTG

The RTG 2767 aims to train a new generation of experts who will design materials made of supracolloidal structures from the drawing board to application in components. Nanoparticles are used in many optical and electronic components nowadays. Supracolloidal structures are complex superstructures composed of different nanoparticles, similar to how atoms are linked to molecules. This results in innovative, exceptionally promising optical and electronic properties that go far beyond those of the individual building blocks. To date, these structure-property relationships of the assembled particles are not adequately understood.

The technological visions of these new materials include novel solar cells, field amplification for highly sensitive spectroscopy, biosensing applications where complex detection processes are made simpler, and even on-site sample examination using smartphones. In order to realize the technical complexity in the training, numerous institutions are connected within the RTG’s 2767 tight network, including various groups at the TU Dresden, the Universität Leipzig, the TU Dresden Research Cluster cfaed and the Dresden Center for Nanoanalysis as well as the Leibniz Institute for Polymer Research Dresden, the Helmholtz-Center Dresden-Rossendorf and the Kurt Schwabe Institute for Measurement and Sensor Technology Meinsberg e.V.
