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
