Research Associate ­­/­­ Postdoc in THz Spectroscopy (m­­/­­f­­/­­x)

The Cluster of Excellence PoL (https://physics-of-life.tu-dresden.de/en (https://physics-of-life.tu-dresden.de/en) ) is an interdisciplinary research center for biology, biophysics and computer science, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and offers a wide range of support structures. You will be part of the DRESDEN-concept Research Group Physical Chemistry of Biomolecular Condensates, a joint group between PoL and the Helmholtz Zentrum Dresden Rossendorf (HZDR), and work in a highly interdisciplinary environment. The mission of the group is to study structural and dynamical solvent properties in aqueous protein solutions with state of the art spectroscopic techniques. We seek independent, passionate, and motivated applicants to lead a project applying THz spectroscopy to study solvent dynamics in biomolecular condensates. Tasks: You will spearhead the development and application of THz spectroscopy for probing solvent dynamics in aqueous protein solutions. You will be responsible for data collection and data analysis, as well as interpretation of data. You will write scientific reports and will participate in writing project proposals for the application of beamtime experiments.
