Introductory Reading Material
Below you find topics for possible thesis projects (bachelor and master level)
as well as open positions (PhD projects and post-doc positions). Please note, though, that due
to the rapidly evolving research the information is of course subject to change. Importantly,
all thesis projects connect to our main areas of research.
The information on the homepage should give a first introduction, but is also not a
substitute for a discussion in person, so feel free to contact us to arrange a meeting. Also,
if you wish to pursue your own ideas and/or apply for a fellowship and wish to have our support,
please contact us directly (Frank
Schreiber).
Student Projects and Practicals |
|---|
|
Students interested in HiWi projects and practicals are welcome. Typical topics are
- Student assistant with a background in condensed matter physics
(details)
- Web development project for HiWi with IT skills
(details)
- Real-time study of protein
crystallization (details)
- Phase behaviour in protein solutions (details)
- Protein interactions and aggregation controlled by
charges (details)
- Infrared spectroscopy of biomolecules at solid/liquid interfaces
- Data analysis and software development
Also, students interested in working abroad in a laboratory collaborating with us (e.g., at the ILL in
Grenoble
(Summer student programme ILL/ESRF
2023) or at the University of Oxford) may contact us for details.

Work placement opportunities at ILL, Grenoble
(flyer)
We can suggest
several destinations, but we have to emphasize
the following:
- We cannot ensure funding of these stays, although some may be able to provide local support (dorms
(Studentenwohnheim) and maybe consumables (food)).
- Please first contact Frank Schreiber and
remember to send (in English!) a meaningful CV and transcript of records together with your first email
of contact. Mention in brief keywords in particular non-standard skills you might have acquired, such as
programming or language skills beyond highschool English.
- For the "independent studies" remember that you can also stay in Tübingen and do course work or work
in the lab as an extended internship (Praktikum). This may not look particularly adventurous, but can be
remarkably beneficial. It may also prepare you for a more fruitful and productive stay abroad (e.g.,
during the master or the PhD thesis), since you receive training in the lab which future hosts abroad
may value. There are very good examples for this.

Projects for Future Teachers (Lehramtler) |
|---|
|
We also offer different projects, which are suitable as "Zulassungsarbeiten für Lehramtler". For
example:
- Test and documentation of a quartz crystal microbalance with monolayer sensitivity
- Test and documentation of a photoelectron spectrometer
- Test and documentation of a 4-circle X-ray diffractometer
|
|
PhD Projects |
|---|
|
PhD projects can be done in all research areas of our group, e.g.,
- PhD positions in advanced X-ray and neutron scattering from molecular and
nanomaterials (details)
- Dynamics, kinetics and assembly of model intrinsically
disordered proteins from a polymer physics perspective
(details)
- Machine Learning applied to the analysis of scattering data
- Perovskite-based hybrid structures for photovoltaics
- Protein dynamics in aqueous solution studied with neutron
spectroscopy (details)
- Real-time study of protein
crystallization (details)
- Organic thin film growth in anisotropic
mixtures (details)
For further details, see also our research projects
and list of publications.
