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 using CISS for molecular qbit control. The researcher will also be
associated with the new Cluster of Excellence Center for Chiral Electronics (CCE,

Participation in the ERC Synergy Grant project CASTLe in the research line CISS for
molecular qbit control.

University degree (Master or equivalent) in Physics or (Physical) Chemistry and doctoral degree.

Desirable:
Strong knowledge in the application of EPR spectroscopy and at preferentially two of the
areas instrument development, laser-induced paramagnetic species, EDMR.

Applications should be sent by e-mail, together with significant documents, indicating the
reference code, no later than December 23rd, 2025 in PDF format (preferably as one
document) to Frau Birgit Dabisch: birgit.dabisch@fu-berlin.de oder per Post an die

Freie Universität Berlin
