Young Investigator Group Nanoscale Solid-Liquid Interfaces
Projects and collaborations
We regularly have open PhD and postdoc positions that will be advertised on the HZB portal. Furthermore, we have experience with scholarships for international students and postdocs (DAAD, CSC, AvH, MSCA, …).
We are open for collaborations, do not hesitate to contact us if you have exciting ideas in mind!
