    About HEiKA Graduate School on Functional Materials

    The Cluster of Excellence 3D Matter Made to Order (3DMM2O) is a Research Cluster jointly run by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Heidelberg University. The main task of the Cluster is to take 3D Additive Manufacturing to the next level by breaking current barriers of scale, precision and speed. The Cluster aims to advance 3D Additive Manufacturing from the macroscale to the microscale, nanoscale, and eventually the molecular scale. It also aims to implement technology in three selected application areas. Built upon the scientific expertise of 35 Principal Investigators from KIT and Heidelberg University, the Cluster is characterised by a highly interdisciplinary research approach. Principal investigators (PIs), postdoctoral and doctoral researchers in chemistry, physical chemistry, physics, biophysics, biology, biomechanics, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering work together in the Cluster. The HEiKA Graduate School on “Functional Materials” with its about 100 members is a central structural element of the Cluster. It offers a training programme preparing the doctoral researchers not only for their research career and their work in the Cluster but also in the areas of science communication and management. Individual mentoring committees ensure the supervision for the doctoral researchers. In addition, annual research conferences in rotating subfields of the Cluster and annual retreats of the doctoral researchers as well as welcome and networking events are part of the programme. HEiKA's offer contributes to the continuous deepening of the partnerships and to the development of new cross-disciplinary connections between the PIs, doctoral candidates and postdocs from KIT and Heidelberg University. Research Programme The research programme is divided into three Research Areas, each of which is comprised of three Thrusts. The Molecular Materials Research Area (A) focuses on designing novel molecular “inks” and “resists”, thereby providing the basic building blocks. The Technologies Research Area (B) is concerned with advancing the technology of 3D Additive Manufacturing in terms of spatial resolution, speed, scalability, and multi-material printing. The joint advances of Research Areas A and B will create a “technology push”. Building on this “push”, the Applications research area (C) explores the possibility of novel applications in materials and life sciences. HEiKA offers a comprehensive training framework, including: PhD agreement with a layout of the planned thesis Training programme Mentoring programme Funds for supporting research stays abroad Annual research conferences in rotating subfields of the Cluster Annual retreats for young researchers Application Find open positions here: www.3dmm2o.de/jobs.php You can also apply for a doctoral scholarship funded by the Carl Zeiss Foundation.
