**Description**:
In the framework of the recently funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Training Network “Liquid phase Ultrafast photoeMIssion spEctroscopy of nonadiabatic photoREactions in biomimetic systems” (LUMIERE), we offer 10 PhD positions in the field of time-resolved optical and photoelectron spectroscopy, computation and synthetic chemistry of biomimetic molecular switches.

The network runs from the 1st of November 2024 to 31 October 2028 and is funded under the Horizon Europe programme.

The LUMIERE network will provide a wide range of training activities including webinars, scientific courses and specific research training modules offered by the different partners of the network. The training programme will be complemented by schools on outreach activities, cutting-edge scientific topics and innovation management, which will be offered during the lifetime of the network.

**Project details**:
**Title**: Environmental effects in time-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of biomimetic switches: polarity, proticity, temperature and interface.

**Objectives**:
2) TRPES investigation of biomimetic switches used and newly developed in the LUMIERE doctoral network.

**Expected results**:
1) Improved sensitivity and stability of TRPES for different solvents and solutes of low solubility. Experimental protocols for biomimetic samples.

2) Experimental and ab initio investigation of oxopyrolle switches and cinnamic acid (in collaboration with theory partner from the LUMIERE network).
3) Dynamics of novel biomimetic switches developed in LUMIERE.

**Techniques to be used**:
Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy in liquid phase using femtosecond XUV pulses

**Planned secondment(s)**:
At University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague with Petr Slavíček for data evaluation and comparison with ab initio theory.
At CNRS with Stefan Haacke for training on all optical transient absorption spectroscopy.

At FHI with Bernd Winter for training on static XUV photoemission spectroscopy FHI.

At Advanced Microfluidic Systems GmbH with Stephan Figul, training on liquid jets.

**Requirements**:
**Offer**:
**Eligibility criteria**:
Researchers who have successfully defended their doctoral thesis but who have not yet formally been awarded the doctoral degree will not be considered eligible.

**Mobility Rule**:
Researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the recruiting beneficiary for more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before their date of recruitment. Compulsory national service, short stays such as holidays, and time spent as part of a procedure for obtaining refugee status under the Geneva Convention1 are not taken into account. For international European research organisations, international organisations, or entities created under Union law, recruited researchers must not have spent more than 12 months in the 36 months immediately before their date of recruitment in the same appointing organisation.

Note that the mobility rule applies to the (first) beneficiary where the researcher is recruited. In case of multiple recruitments, the mobility rule only applies to the first recruitment. **Date of Recruitment **means the first day of the employment of the researcher for the purposes of the action (i.e. the starting date indicated in the employment contract or equivalent direct contract).

**About MSCA Doctoral Networks**:
MBI is an equal-opportunity employer and places particular emphasis on fostering career opportunities for women. Qualified women are therefore strongly encouraged to apply.

If equally qualified, severely handicapped persons are given preference.

MBI supports the reconcilability of family and working life and is certified by the audit workandfamily (audit berufundfamilie) as a family-friendly employer.
