PhD position in the MSCA Doctoral Network "MobiliTraIN" on fundamental ion mobility research (m/f/d)

Your Profile:

• Diploma or M.Sc. in Physics, Physical Chemistry or corresponding qualification.
  
• Knowledge and experience in one or more of the following areas:
  • Ion mobility spectrometry
    
  • Mass spectrometry
    
  • Ion optics and physics
    
  • Python programming
    
  • Gas phase instrument development
• Strong analytic, logical, and innovative thinking.
  
• Good communication skills, team-mindedness.
  
• First experience in the preparation and writing of scientific publications.
  
• Solid scientific English language skills (oral and written).
  
• Fluid German language skills would be beneficial.

Your Tasks:

• Locate, quantify, and control the effect of the ion's translational temperature on their internal temperatures and potential fragmentation in different TIMS configurations.
  
• Solid scientific English language skills (oral and written).
  
• Develop and demonstrate a 1st order CCS determination. From the TIMS theory, this technique will be comparable to the well-established 1st order CCS determination on the drift tube IMS instruments.
  
• Solid scientific English language skills (oral and written).
  
• Translate the deep understanding of TIMS technology to the biomedical investigations of the different research labs present on the doctoral network.
  
• Solid scientific English language skills (oral and written).
  
• Contributing to a general way of evaluating and compare fundamental physical properties and result outcomes using different ion mobility spectrometry techniques.
