551: DLR-DAAD Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme Nr. 551: PhD in Physics or similar (f/m/x) - Granular Light Scattering in Zero and Reduced Gravity

Area of research:

Scientific / postdoctoral posts

Job description:

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.
