Fourteen (14) PhD Scholarships in Chemistry & Molecular Physics, University of Wuerzburg, Germany (2015-2016)

The DFG-funded Research Training Group GRK2112, "Molecular Biradicals: Structure, Properties and Reactivity" at the University of Würzburg offers 14 positions for Ph.D students in all areas of chemistry and in molecular physics. Candidates with an interest in either synthesis, spectroscopy and/or theory are invited to apply.

The goals of the research program are:
- to study the relationship between the molecular structure and the properties of biradicals.
- to understand the formation and photophysics of charge-separated biradical states and long-lived triplet states.
- to investigate experimentally and describe theoretically the structure of excited electronic states of biradicals and their chemical reaction mechanisms in the gas phase and solution.

Salaries are in accordance with TV-L. Appointment is initially for one year, with a possible extension to three years. The project will start on October 1st, 2015. The search will continue until all positions are filled.

Requirements are an excellent master of science (M.Sc.) degree in Chemistry or Physics and very good German or English skills. Qualified female candidates are encouraged to apply. Applications from qualified disabled candidates will be preferred in case of equal qualifications. The University of Würzburg is committed to provide a family-friendly workplace.
