Te scientific module is organized by RTG BEAM. Registration is closed.

[UL] Mental health awareness days (November 2-4, 2021)

Working in the academic environment can be quite stressful and we shouldn’t forget to also take care of our mental well-being. The Leipzig University in cooperation with HIGRADE graduate school and yDiv is organizing a digital theme week that is aimed at researchers at all career levels and offers different formats, e.g. short activating morning sessions and academic exchange.

You find the detailed programme and access links here (all events in English, no registration needed): https://www.uni-leipzig.de/en/event-detail/artikel/mental-health-awareness-days-2021-11-02/

[DFG] DFG Funding Opportunities for Postdocs (November 9, 2021, 14.00-15.30)

The DFG offers a short webinar concerning their funding options for the postdoctoral phase.

Germany’s largest independent research funding organisation offers funding opportunities for all career stages between doctorate and professorship. Join our online talk and get to know the DFG and its funding portfolio for postdocs in Germany. We will give you a quick overview about the Walter Benjamin, the Emmy Noether and the Heisenberg Programme, as well as the Individual Research Grant with a temporary position for principal investigators. We will also provide advice on how to prepare your proposal and what happens once you submit it to the DFG.

Registration here.

[UL] Equal Opportunities in Research Collaborations (November+December 2021)

The SFB1052, the SFB1199, the SFB1423 and the TRR67 pool gender equality measures, ideas and offers to sustainably establish the common goal of promoting equal opportunities in research collaborations. The pooling strategy enables gender equality activities directly oriented towards the centres’ needs and provides a collaborative exchange platform. The varied workshops and training programs will be combined with an opening lecture about the personal career path of a female scientist working in the research alliance. The lectures and the talks are in English language.

Insights behind the CV: Ingrid Mertig (05.11.2021, 12.30-14.00)

You are warmly invited to join the informal career talks by Ingrid Mertig! Successful scientists share their experiences as a woman in natural science and tell the story behind their official CV. After the talk there will be enough time for informal discussion and networking.

Target audience are (female) natural scientists from our university and related institutes.

Date: November 5, 2021
12.30-14.00
VSP 1, room 0.04

3G only: vaccinated, recovered or tested! (So, we can enjoy some snacks!)

[BEAM] ATM: NMR spectroscopy for biomolecular and materials characterization (December 20-21, 2021)

Aims

This module addresses doctoral students in chemistry, physics, biophysics, and related fields without much prior knowledge in NMR spectroscopy. It introduces the basic theoretical and technical concepts necessary for an understanding of data/spectrum acquisition in pulsed NMR and the information content, and focuses on a few specific experimental techniques to study dynamics in polymer and biopolymer systems.

[BEAM] ATM: Amphiphilic polymers on the Langmuir trough (January 26-28, 2022)

Content

Behavior of amphiphilic (macro)molecules on the air/water interface
Synthesis of amphiphilic polymers by ATRP
Surface pressure versus mean molecular area isotherms, phase transitions
Brewster Angle Microscopy, Epifluorescence Microscopy
X-ray and neutron reflectivity, granzing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering

[BEAM] ATM: Applications of EPR in softmatter: from polymers to proteins (February 22-23, 2022)

content: self-assembly, nanoscopic properties, nano-scale distance measurements

Taking theory part only is possible (reduced credit points)

lecturer: Dr. Haleh Hashemi-Haeri/ Prof. Dariush Hinderberger

[BEAM] ATM: How we can model and use symmetry (30.-31.3.2022)

After some motivation and first examples, we look at groups systematically and explore the mathematical language to study them. There will be exercises to work on and we discuss solutions (even if incomplete). One of the goals is to understand the symmetry of regular n-gons and to really get in touch with mathematical reasoning. And of course we want to discuss where symmetry might play a role in your work!

lecturer: Prof. Rebecca Waldecke
