We offer a deep immersion in bio-based energy technologies; the candidate will learn and live the translational perspective of designing biomaterials for sustainable energy-related applications every day. Situated on the Bavarian Forest gate, Straubing as the old ducal town on the Danube, is the intellectual hub for renewable raw materials and technologies for sustainability in Germany. TUM Campus Straubing for Biotechnology and Sustainability offers scientific and academic excellence in a student-friendly and fresh environment. The successful applicant will hold a 2-year contract with the possibility to expand it. We offer a competitive salary and benefits depending on work experience and seniority in accordance with the public service wage agreement of the Free State of Bavaria - TV-L E13. As an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, TUM explicitly encourages applications from women, as well as from all people who would bring additional diversity dimensions to the university’s research and teaching strategies. Preference will be given to disabled candidates with essentially the same qualifications.
Your tasks
• Research on advanced spectroscopic and chiro(optical) techniques and methodologies: time-resolved emission and absorption spectroscopy, non-linear spectroscopy, chiro(optical), techniques, ECD, CPL, magnetic dependent spectroscopy.• Participation on courses in the Bachelor's and Master's degree programs and implementation of Bachelor's and Master's theses (English).
• Development and operation of scientific equipment and methodologies focused on thin-film optoelectronics (vacuum technology, glove-box operation, thin-film characterization) and advanced spectroscopic and optical techniques and methodologies.
• Assistance in the supervision of PhDs (English).
• Assistance on the organizational and administrative tasks (e.g. laboratory planning).
• Collaboration in research projects and involvement in the application for third-party funding.
We are looking forward to receiving your comprehensive application, including your letter of motivation (1 page), CV (with complete contact information for two references), complete list of publications, participation in projects, and awards/recognitions in English in a single PDF file, via email to biofunmat@cs.tum.de . Please indicate only “PD_opto” in the subject line.

The Chair of Biogenic Functional Materials at the Technical University of Munich is seeking a biologist, biochemist, or chemist to bolster research activities in the interface between organic chemistry, synthetic biology, and physical chemistry with a strong focus on organic chemistry (small molecules, supramolecular protein functionalization) and characterization for optics and photonics. Our research focuses on designing multifunctional molecules to bring new functionalities to protein-DNA hybrid materials for optics and photonics purposes. Thus, we teach courses on organic chemistry, protein engineering and chemistry, materials science, optics, electronic spectroscopy, mechanical and thermal analysis, and optoelectronics. The TUM Campus Straubing for Biotechnology and Sustainability is our new home since 2020. It provides an excellent, dynamic environment with top-notch research facilities, modern teaching spaces, and a welcoming, open, multicultural atmosphere that fosters growth for students, scientists, and teachers alike.
