13 PhD positions in Graduate School « Complex Scenarios of Light Control » (Germany)

The DFG-funded Research Training Group (RTG) « Complex Scenarios of Light Control (CLiC) » at the Goethe University Frankfurt offers 13 PhD Positions (wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter, E13 TV-G-U 66%) for a maximum of three years starting from November 1st 2014.

This RTG is dedicated to educating PhD students in the synthetic realization, theoretical description, photochemical characterization and biomolecular application of photolabile protecting strategies for the control of chemical and biological processes with light.

Within CLiC we will develop complex uncaging strategies including novel irradiation strategies, wavelength-selective addressability of multiple caging groups and methods for two-photon uncaging with 3D spatial resolution. We will explore new scenarios of light-control with special foci on time-resolved NMR spectroscopy in solution and in solid-state and advanced light microscopy.
