Faculty of Science
The Institute for Molecules and Materials is an interdisciplinary research institute in chemistry and physics at Radboud University. Its mission is to perform fundamental research at the highest international standards to understand, design and control the functioning of molecules and materials and to educate and train the next generation of leaders in science and entrepreneurship. The IMM actively explores and promotes interaction with industry and application of its fundamental research.
The IMM distinguishes itself from similar institutes by intense collaborations and interactions between chemists and physicists and/or experimentalists and theorists, and the very strong infrastructure that includes large user facilities such as the High Field Magnet Laboratory (HFML) and the Free Electron Laser facility FELIX.
The Theory of Condensed Matter department (TCM, part of the IMM) is headed by Prof. M. (Mikhail) Katsnelson. Research in this group focuses on the theory of structural and electronic properties of condensed matter. Currently, our two main lines of research are:
(1) Graphene and other two-dimensional materials
(2) Strongly correlated systems and magnetism
The group’s activities are meant to support and stimulate experimental investigations relevant for materials science and technology. The educational programmes of the educational institute of Physics & Astronomy are closely linked with the research conducted at the IMM. The strong connection between education and research offers a means to attract and retain talented Master’s students for PhD projects by giving them the opportunity to actively shape their PhD projects.
Radboud University is an equal opportunity employer, committed to building a culturally diverse intellectual community, and as such encourages applications from women and minorities. The university offers customised facilities to better align work and private life. Parents are entitled to partly paid parental leave and Radboud University employees enjoy flexibility in the way they structure their work. The university highly values the career development of its staff, which is facilitated by a variety of programmes.
