Job Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) - Postdoc Self-assembly of colloids through anisotropic interactions

Project description

We will study structure formation in colloidal materials by producing particles with anisotropic attractive interactions, tunable in strength from reversible to irreversible. We will use these systems as a colloidal model for supramolecular polymers, where stacking occurs through highly anisotropic non-covalent interactions. In our colloidal model system we will be able to directly study the kinetics of structure formation and the resulting morphologies by direct imaging in a confocal microscope.

Requirements

We are looking for a motivated researcher to fill a post-doc position at the ICMS in the area of experimental soft matter. Candidates should have experience in experimental techniques such as confocal microscopy, rheology, light scattering, or microfluidics - preferably having conducted their PhD research in soft matter physics, materials science or a related area.

We offer

A challenging job in a dynamic and ambitious, multidisciplinary research team. Close collaboration with leading national and international groups in the fields of soft matter science, materials science, and polymer technology. Gross monthly salaries € 2861,- to € 2977,- in accordance with the Collective Labor Agreement of the Dutch Universities (CAO NU).  Moreover 8% bonus share (holiday supplement) is provided annually. An attractive package of fringe benefits (including excellent work facilities, child care and sport facilities). Also, we can help you find accommodation. The TU/e is an equal opportunity employer.

To ensure consideration, your application should include the following documents (in PDF format):

- An application letter that outlines your qualification, interest and motivation for this position

- A CV with details on education, employment, publications, and research experience, as well as contact information for 1-2 referees.
