Project: Connecting the bulk and interface membrane properties of microbial glycolipid amphiphiles
This PhD position aims at studying the bulk (water) and interface (air-water) properties of glycolipid amphiphiles using neutron scattering techniques (small angle neutron scattering -SANS- , neutron spin echo -NSE-, neutron reflectometry -NR-), provided their deuteration using microbial fermentation techniques.
Profile: The candidate must hold a Master 2 degree in materials chemistry, materials science, chemistry or physics or related disciplines. Knowledge in the fields of lipids, surfactants and their physical characterization but also in purification technology and microbiology will be appreciated.
