Overview

The doctoral programme "Photophysics of Synthetic and Biological Multichromophoric Systems" at University of Bayreuth aims to offer young scientists additional qualifications beyond their actual research work, which will enable them to meet the special requirements that characterize the interdisciplinary field of photophysics of multi-chromophoric systems.

Features

Graduates of this doctoral programme are especially qualified for work in the field of photophysical research and the investigation of multichromophore systems.

Programme Structure

Research

Systems are generally referred to as "multichromophores" if they contain different units that can interact with light.

Typical examples of multichromophores are larger molecules with a conjugated electron system.

Multichromophores play an important role e.g. in biological light collection complexes in photosynthesis, in technological applications for the development of organic solar cells, or in organic electronics in general.

In addition to their relevance in applications, these systems are also of great interest because they allow the study of very general, fundamental questions on the physics and chemistry of condensed matter.

Other requirements

General requirements

A short letter of application explaining your personal motivation to work at MatKat.

A short curriculum vitae with list of publications, if available.

A copy of your university entrance qualification (Abitur certificate).

Bachelor's and Master's degrees (or diploma degrees) from a field of study that is directly related to the doctoral programme (e.g. physics, chemistry, biochemistry, material sciences).

If an applicant has passed all relevant examinations but no certificates have yet been issued (e.g. Master's certificate), alternative proof of academic achievement ("confirmation citing the individual grades of all academic achievements") can be submitted.

Where available, evidence of special qualifications (e.g. vocational training, awards, internships, scholarships, stays abroad), if these relate to the content of the doctoral programme.
