PhD in X-ray spectroscopy of chiral molecules in solution within the Chirax ERC at the University of Trieste

Deadline: 6 June 2025 at 1:00 pm (CEST)
Ref: GA n. 101095012

Project

The CHIRAX project  funded by the European Research Council aims at implementing steady-state and time-resolved X-ray spectroscopy of chiral molecules in solution using circular and helical dichroism. The steady-state part will be carried out at synchrotrons, while the time-resolved ones will exploit both synchrotrons and XFELs.

About the position

The University of Trieste, partner of Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste (coordinator of the ERC CHIRAX project), has opened a call for applications to a fully funded PhD position within the PhD Programme in Physics.
