AdresseTechnische Universität Dresden (TUD), as a University of Excellence, is one of the leading and most
dynamic research institutions in the country. Founded in 1828, today it is a globally oriented,
regionally anchored top university as it focuses on the grand challenges of the 21st century. lt
develops innovative solutions for the world's most pressing issues. In research and academic
programs, the university unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities, social
sciences and medicine. This wide range of disciplines is a special feature, facilitating interdisciplinarity
and transfer of science to society. As a modern employer, it offers attractive working conditions to all
employees in teaching, research, technology and administration. The goal is to promote and develop
their individual abilities while empowering everyone to reach their full potential. TUD embodies a
university culture that is characterized by cosmopolitanism, mutual appreciation, thriving innovation
and active participation. For TUD diversity is an essential feature and a quality criterion of an excellent
university. Accordingly, we welcome all applicants who would like to commit themselves, their
achievements and productivity to the success of the whole institution.

About the RTG
The RTG 2767 aims to train a new generation of experts who will design materials made of
supracolloidal structures from the drawing board to application in components. Nanoparticles are
used in many optical and electronic components nowadays. Supracolloidal structures are complex
superstructures composed of different nanoparticles, similar to how atoms are linked to molecules.
This results in innovative, exceptionally promising optical and electronic properties that go far beyond
those of the individual building blocks. To date, these structure-property relationships of the
assembled particles are not adequately understood. The technological visions of these new materials
include novel solar cells, field amplification for highly sensitive spectroscopy, biosensing applications
where complex detection processes are made simpler, and even on-site sample examination using
smartphones. In order to realize the technical complexity in the training, numerous institutions are
connected within the RTG’s 2767 tight network, including various groups at the TU Dresden, the
Universität Leipzig, the TU Dresden Research Cluster cfaed and the Dresden Center for Nanoanalysis
as well as the Leibniz Institute for Polymer Research Dresden, the Helmholtz-Center Dresden-
Rossendorf and the Kurt Schwabe Institute for Measurement and Sensor Technology Meinsberg e.V.
