Your Job:
Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in our... brain, and impaired glutamate homeostasis causes various neurological diseases. In bacteria, glutamate is the major amino group donor and crucial for the industrial production of chemicals in white biotechnology. To understand glutamate homeostasis in these two system, a neuroscience (IBI-1 https://www.fz-juelich.de/en/ibi/ibi-1) and a biotechnology institute (IBG-1, https://www.fz-juelich.de/de/ibg/ibg-1/forschung/systemische-mikrobiologie) have teamed up to generate novel fluorescent sensors that permit the quantification of intracellular glutamate concentrations in living cells in real time.
We are looking for a doctoral researcher who will
• use atomistic MD simulations to optimize affinity, glutamate selectivity and pH sensitivity of existing glutamate binding proteins in silico
• generate fluorescent glutamate sensors based on such glutamate binding proteins and characterize them with fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence lifetime measurements
• and thus identify a glutamate sensor with low affinity, high selectivity for glutamate, and little pH sensitivity
• and subsequently use this novel sensor to test cytoplasmic and synaptic vesicle glutamate concentrations in giant presynaptic nerve terminals in cultured neurons and
• cytoplasmic glutamate concentrations in selected Corynebacterium glutamicum strains to obtain information on proteins relevant for bacterial glutamate homeostasis and glutamate dynamics
Your Profile:

To approach the sensitivity and selectivity limitations of standard NMR, an electrochemistry (IEK-9, https://www.fz-juelich.de/de/iek/iek-9/) and a structural biology institute (IBI-7, https://www.fz-juelich.de/de/ibi/ibi-7/) join forces in order to develop and apply surface-selective dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) NMR techniques, targeting amyloid fibrils and battery interfaces.
We are looking for a doctoral researcher who will
• develop high resolution solid-state DNP NMR techniques for surface characterization of functional nanomaterials.
• apply these methods to problems in structural biology and in electrochemistry, where surface processes play a similarly crucial role for materials properties.
• chemically attach radicals at or near surfaces to "illuminate" their local structural environment.
• conduct surface and interface characterization as well as depth profiling of ceramic/polymer hybrid electrolyte materials for battery applications.
• investigate interactions between amyloid fibrils and selectively spin-labeled ligands.
Your Profile:
• Master`s degree in chemistry or related area
• Prior experience with nuclear magnetic resonance
• Some experience in surface chemistry desirable
• Broad interest in functional materials science
• Strong motivation for pursuing a doctoral degree within four years in an ambitious, but rewarding interdisciplinary project related to the development of magnetic resonance based methods for surface characterization

Your Job:
The generation of excess heat is a major bottleneck of... semiconductor-based electronics, ranging from small scale wearable applications up to large supercomputers. In turn, by developing suitable on-chip and CMOS compatible thermoelectric technologies, not only internet-of-things applications like wearables could be operated by the body temperature alone, but also a significant contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions caused by computing could be made by energy reutilization at operating temperatures below 100°C. The objective is to enable SiGeSn as a novel Si-compatible thermoelectric material able to operate at room or body temperature.
In detail, the planned work will cover
• Creation of ultralow-thermal conductance SiGeSn alloys
• Development of an efficient SiGeSn thermoelectric material for room temperature application
• Validation of a microfabricated Si-based thermoelectric module
• Understanding and optimization of heat generation and transport in the device

Your Job:
Hydrogen (H), the most prospective carbon-neutral energy... carrier, is a ubiquitous impurity in crystalline solids exhibiting many unique properties upon interactions with lattice atoms and/or crystal defects. One such unique property is the unexpected formation of lattice damage and in turn H-supersaturated surface layers (HSSL) in metals exposed to H plasma/ion irradiation with sub-threshold ion energies. Sophisticated experimental design and advanced techniques are available to ‘see’ H retained at defect microstructures in the nanometer-thick HSSL and to further explore its formation mechanism, microstructure evolution process, including but not limited to transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) and atom probe tomography (APT). The project will be jointly supervised by experts from the Institute of Energy & Climate Research (IEK-4: Plasma Physics) and the Ernst Ruska-Centre for Microscopy and Spectroscopy with Electrons (ER-C-2: Materials Science and Technology).
We are looking for a doctoral researcher who will
• perform TEM-characterization of defects microstructure in HSSL on plasma-exposed tungsten (W)
• measure and compare H distribution in HSSL on W using NRA and APT
• track the defects microstructure evolution in HSSL upon in situ annealing in TEM
• explore the formation mechanism of HSSL by H ions at sub-threshold energies
• extrapolate the mechanism from W to other metals with potential of catalytical application
Specific tasks you may come across are
• Tungsten (W) samples preparation with different dimensions for different techniques. (needle-like samples for APT, 3mm discs for TEM, bulk samples for NRA)
• Low-energy plasma exposure of W samples for HSSL at different exposure conditions (H particle fluences, temperature, etc.)
• Detailed TEM characterization of HSSL formed at different plasma exposure conditions
• in situ TEM characterization of HSSL microstructure evolution upon post-exposure annealing at different temperatures.
• APT characterization of the 3-dimensional H distribution in the HSSL on W
• NRA measurements on H depth profile in the HSSL via established external collaboration
• Physical model building-up to interpret the lattice damage formed by sub-threshold H ions
• Extrapolation from W to other metals, including Fe, Ni, etc.
Further information about the institutes is available at https://www.fz-juelich.de/en/iek/iek-4 and https://www.fz-juelich.de/en/er-c/er-c-2
Your Profile:
• Physics or Material Science as the major for master study, strong background on crystal defects is highly preferred.
• Basic knowledge or operating experience on transmission/scanning electron microscopy
• Fluent English: oral and scientific writing, German enhances the priority
• Team-work spirit and an open mind in science
