The NRW Research School BioStruct – Biological Structures in Molecular Medicine and Biotechnology at Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf in Germany, funded by the Ministry of Innovation, Science, Research and Technology of the German Federal State North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), and the school chairmen Prof. Dr. Lutz Schmitt and Prof. Dr. Dieter Willbold invite applications on PhD Scholarships starting in Spring 2012.

The Leibniz-Institut für Analytische Wissenschaften - ISAS - e.V. is located in Dortmund and Berlin. Besides scientific activities in the development of new or improved measuring meth-ods and analytical separation techniques as well as spectroscopy and spectrometric equip-ment in modern analysis, research is undertaken in the areas of spectroscopic methods and analytical contributions to solve problems in the fields of materials and life sciences.

For our Department of Interface Spectroscopy in Berlin, ISAS invites applications for a posi-tion in a DFG- Project (in cooperation between Clemson University, Clarkson University, Leibniz-Institute for Polymer Research Dresden, University of Göttingen) within the frame of a Materials World Network project: ”Switchable polymer interfaces for bottom-up stimulation of mamalian cells“

Applications are invited from talented candidates to conduct a PhD at the German Institute for Polymers (Deutsches Kunststoff-Institut) in Darmstadt. Aim of the project is to develop advanced analytical techniques for the liquid chromatographic characterization of industrially relevant complex olefin copolymers. The project is funded by a large multinational company and will be conducted in close collaboration with the project partner.
