We are looking for candidates with hands-on experience in these areas: Atomic layer deposition, vacuum deposition, electrochemical deposition, scanning probe techniques, other material investigation techniques, for the topics below.

• Electrochemical deposition of metals (e.g. Ag, Ni) on advanced substrates such as on membranes and tips.
• Layer-by-layer electrochemical deposition of metal chalcogenides (e.g. S- and Se-based compounds).
• Correlative scanning probe microscopic investigation of 2D layered materials and their electrical, optical, and electrochemical properties.
• 3D printing for photoelectrochemical or photocatalysis applications.

Postdoctoral and PhD fellowships

We are happy to host fellowships (long- and short-term stay), such as
• Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA-PF)
• Alexander-von-Humboldt (AvH) Stiftung
