PhD: Experimental Optical & Structural Nanocrystal Studies

ETH Zürich; Zürich; Vor Ort; CHF 65.000 - 90.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

ETH Zurich invites applications for a full-time doctoral position focusing on the optical and structural characterization of semiconductor nanocrystals. The successful candidate will study CdSe magic-sized nanocrystals and extend to other sizes, compositions, and core/shell structures using ensemble and single-particle spectroscopy, plus cryogenic electron microscopy.

Working closely with synthesis and theoretical modeling teams, you will explore size- and shape-dependent optical properties,

Qualifikationen

• MSc or near-completion in chemistry, materials science, physics, or related field.
• Strong experimental background in optical spectroscopy or microscopy is expected.
• Experience with nanocrystal synthesis or characterization is advantageous.

Aufgaben

• Characterize semiconductor nanocrystals using optical and structural techniques.
• Investigate size, shape, composition, and surface effects on optical properties.
• Collaborate with synthesis and modeling teams; contribute to data analysis.
• Prepare materials for cryogenic electron microscopy and single-particle analysis.
