Forschungszentrum Jülich Postdoc – Water and magnetic dynamics at nanostructured interfaces 2025

At the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science - Neutron Analytics for Energy Research (JCNS-3), we aim to address the dynamic, structural and electronic properties of energy materials and nanostructured interfaces employing neutron spectroscopy.

Your Job:

  • QENS and INS experiments to investigate the diffusion dynamics of water and ligand molecules on metal oxide nanoparticle surfaces, accompanied by complementary experimental techniques or theoretical simulations
  • Characterization of the magnetic modes in iron oxide nanoparticles using neutron spectroscopy
  • Synthesis and physicochemical characterization of iron and metal oxide nanoparticles
  • Participation in experiments as well as design and construction of instruments and/or sample environments with practical work at neutron sources
  • Supervision of MSc and BSc students
  • Presentation of research results at conferences and publication in peer-reviewed journals
  • Establishment of cooperation projects with other institutes at Forschungszentrum Jülich
