PhD Positions, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany (2016-2017)

Several PhD Positions Open at Universität Duisburg-Essen, Germany to Study
 Time-evolution of Non-equilibrium Situations in Condensed Matter

We are seeking several highly motivated PhD students to work in the Collaborative Research Centre 1242 “Non-equilibrium Dynamics of Condensed Matter in the Time Domain” newly granted by the German Science Foundation for initially 4 years. The centre is formed by 21 principal investigators that are specialists in areas such as ultra-fast laser and/or electron spectroscopy, ion scattering, surface microscopy or theoretical condensed matter physics. By combining sophisticated experiments with high-level theory development and modelling, we aim to develop a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms governing the time-evolution of strongly excited condensed matter systems.

You will be a key player in one of the scientific projects which will provide you with research experience in an excellent scientific environment and ensure that you develop scientific independence and the skills to work successfully in a team. In addition, an Internal Research Training Group (IRTG) will help you to develop the skills necessary for a future career in academics or industry. Moreover, the IRTG supports a one-month exchange visit to a partner laboratory abroad during the course of your PhD work.
