The Self-Organizing Matter group seeks motivated and talented post doc to join our team working in the field of chirality. The aim of this project is to develop methods for sorting chiral crystals and molecules using polarized light. To reach this ambitious goal, you will work closely together with an international consortium named CHIRALFORCE composed of leading research groups from Spain, Italy, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom that bring together the essential knowledge on light-matter interactions, chirality, device fabrication and theory. As part of this research consortium, your research is focused on the synthesis of chiral crystals and chiral molecules and the characterization of the optical forces that can be exerted on this chiral matter and the development of an optical device that enables sorting of chiral matter. The projects combine chemical synthesis, tailor-made characterization techniques (e.g. chiral HPLC, SEM, polarimetry, CD etc.) with a solid connection to the rich background of theory on this topic. You will work in close connection to other group members, and with the affiliated consortium members. Moreover, you will be involved in all aspects of design, realization, interpretation of experiments.
