A doctoral student position on fluorescent metal nanoclusters in the Department of Applied Physics, Aalto University

An opportunity is offered for a doctoral student to perform forefront multidisciplinary research in the field of few-atom fluorescent metal nanoclusters. Fluorescent metal nanoclusters are a novel type of nanoparticles with excellent luminescence properties and size of less than one nm (i.e. only a few atoms large).

The doctoral student will work on gold and silver nanoclusters, their synthesis using organic and biological scaffolds, their characterisation using state-of-the-art electron microscopes and optical methods, and their use in biomedical applications via various national and international collaborators.

The position in the Molecular Materials group (Dr. Robin Ras, Prof. Olli Ikkala) is in close collaboration with Prof. Hannu Häkkinen (Univ. Jyväskylä, Finland) and with Prof. T. Pradeep (Indian Institute of Technology, India). The position is immediately available. The salary is based on the university salary scheme. The team in which the student operates, aims to publish in the highest level scientific journals.

As a successful applicant you should be highly motivated in experimental science and have a background in physics, chemistry or materials science.

Please send your application by email and include a motivation letter (max one page) and CV.
