Fachbereich 11 - Physik Collaborative Research Center 1459 Intelligent Matter: From Responsive to Adaptive Nanosystems Doctoral Research Associate (Wissenschaftliche*r Mitarbeiter*in, salary level E 13 TV-L, part-time) 01.06.2026
at the earliest possible date. We are offering a fixed-term part-time position (75%), initially limited to three years. The CRC 1459 and its integrated research training group offer an outstanding infrastructure and a comprehensive and interdisciplinary training program in the design and study of intelligent matter. The program will enable the researcher to carry out frontier research and empower them for future research and management tasks in industry and academia. Full-time employees are required to teach 4 hours per week during the semester.
The researcher position forms part of an intensive and interdisciplinary research program on the conceptualization and realization of intelligent matter. Intelligence is the ability to perceive information and to retain it as knowledge to be applied towards adaptive behaviour in a changing environment. The CRC 1459 is inspired by the question whether synthetic matter can have intelligent properties. Such intelligent matter would provide entirely new opportunities for instance for the development of artificial skin, soft robotics with adaptive tactility, and brain-inspired computing with reduced energy consumption. The CRC 1459 involves 26 project leaders at University of Münster and University of Twente. More information on the research program of CRC 1459 is available at: . This project is project C03 in the group of Professors Van der Wiel, Ravoo and Heuer.
