We are looking for the following persons to join the Institute for Integrated Natural Sciences, Physics Department as soon as possible
2 research associates with doctorate opportunities (m/f/d)
The positions are 50 % half-time (currently 19.5 hours/week) and are temporary for three years. Remunerations are paid according to pay group 13 TV-L. The temporary employments are based on the regulations of the Act on Temporary Employment Contracts in Academia (WissZeitVG). Teaching obligations in experimental physics are 2 semester hours per week in various physics degree pro-grams of the University of Koblenz. The opportunity for a doctorate is offered and strongly supported.
Both research positions participate in research projects within the Material Physics group, focusing on experimental polymer physics at the intersection of biology and medicine and are related to fluorescence correlation spectroscopy complemented by numerous other methods, like dyanmic light scattering, atomic force- and scanning electron microscopy etc. The objectives of the projects are to investigate the release kinetics and tissue specificity of nanoparticulate drug carriers, with an emphasis on natural substances for cancer therapy and their transport and release in the digestive tract and bloodstream and to study biofilm formation on polymer surfaces, with emphasis on medical applications (e.g. implants), biopolymer degradation, and interactions between biofilms and nano-plastics, respevtively.
