3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Two-color infrared free-electron laser spectroscopy and microscopy
Summary of PhD Program:
The LD group employs infrared spectroscopy and microscopy using the FHI FEL, to investigate infrared nanophotonic systems based on phonon polaritons in low symmetry crystals, as well as resonant nonlinear imaging of ferroic systems. We use complementary approaches of momentum space spectroscopy and real space spectro-microscopy to explore the unusual dispersion of deeply sub-wavelength polariton modes. For real space imaging, we have developed a novel experiment of nonlinear infrared-visible frequency mixing microscopy, providing deeply sub-diffractional infrared imaging resolution.
Application Deadline: Mar 31, 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Private Law
Summary of PhD Program:
The positions are assigned to our newly founded Max Planck Research Group “Cultural Diversity in Private Law”, headed by Dr. Mareike Schmidt. This group explores the role of cultural diversity in core fields of private law, with a special focus on contracts and torts. In particular, the group seeks to understand the cultural embeddedness of legal processes in these fields and the way legal professionals deal with their own and others’ cultural conceptions of normality. Its ultimate goal is to contribute to the improvement of legal doctrine and practice regarding an inclusive application of private law in culturally diverse societies.
Application Deadline: 11th February 2024
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Physical organic chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
The Qiu group is dedicated to conceptualizing new principles of organic reactivity and catalysis, both experimentally and computationally. We study unique aspects of organic chemistry, aiming to offer new perspectives to longstanding questions. Our main research themes are: 1. Systematically modulating intrinsic (i.e., thermodynamic-independent) reactivity; 2. Utilizing intrinsic reactivity to manipulate selectivity; and 3. Developing a new diagnostic method for quantum mechanical tunneling in organic reactions under ambient conditions. Each project, while contributing to broader research goals, offers individual insight and discovery. Our research is conceptually cohesive yet encompasses a variety of organic reaction systems. The choice of research topic is flexible, to best meet our new students’ interest and career ambition.
