Doctoral Fellowship
Enter the fascinating world of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) and help shape the future through research and innovation! We offer an exciting and inspiring working environment driven by the expertise and curiosity of our 11,000 employees from 100 nations and our unique infrastructure. Together, we develop sustainable technologies and thus contribute to finding solutions to global challenges. Would you like to join us in addressing this major future challenge? Then this is your place!
Our Institute of Materials Physics in Space in Cologne offers a
DLR-DAAD Doctoral Fellowship
Nr. 551: Granular Light Scattering in Zero and Reduced Gravity
What to expect:
Light scattering from granular media allows the observation of dynamics inside agitated samples. For granular media in zero gravity, monitoring the dynamics is particularly interesting as the states and dynamics accessible are different from those measured on ground. Based on existing equipment in the laboratory and in space, contributions shall be made to fundamental and applied questions in granular scattering. New schemes of measurement shall be devised, such as the utilization of Terahertz radiation as well as the combination of light scattering with other techniques, i.e., rheology. Different particle systems as well as agitation methods shall be investigated and optimized. Data analysis and the publication in international scientific journals shall complete the tasks.
