PhD position in “Silicified DNA-nanostructures as versatile tool for the self-assembly of conducting nanomaterials”
The Molecular Biophysics group offers a PhD position within the DFG-funded Research Training Group 2767 „Supracolloidal Structures: From Materials to Optical and Electronic Devices“ of TU Dresden. Aim of this graduate school is to train a team of PhD students to design, fabricate and apply materials for a new generation of optical and electronic devices. Both the student training as well as the research are run in a close interdisciplinary collaboration between the participating PhD students and their groups.

The objective of the project is to use 3-dimensional DNA nanostructure templates to synthesize and arrange metallic and semiconducting materials to form electronic nanodevices with designed properties. To overcome current challenges in the DNA-based assembly process nanoscale silicification shall be applied in order to achieve higher self-assembly yields as well as new type of devices.
