In the ERC-funded project CASTLe (https://www.castle.unifi.it) we aim at a fundamental
understanding of chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) and investigate potential
applications in quantum technology. The team consists of four PIs at Universita degli Studi di
Firenze, Northwestern University, Universita degli Studi di Parma and Freie Universität Berlin
together with partners at Weizmann Institute of Science and Universita degli Studi di Torino,
and the Consorzio interuniversitario nazionale per la Sciencia e Technologia dei Material.
The specific contribution of the Berlin group concerns electron paramagnetic resonance
spectroscopy (EPR) and electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR) to probe spin
selectivity in photoinduced electron transfer (PET) processes. The post doctoral fellow will
have experience in EPR and actively develop EPR/EMDR as well on the instrumentation as
the analysis side towards detection of CISS after PET in molecular donor-bridge-acceptor
systems with chiral bridges. The researcher will also be associated with the new Cluster of
Excellence Center for Chiral Electronics (CCE, https://www.chiralelectronics.de).
