Project Manager (f/m/d) for EU Project TRILOGY

The EU-funded Horizon Europe Doctoral Network TRILOGY advances the emerging field of ultrafast chirality by leveraging attosecond light-driven electron dynamics to overcome fundamental limits of conventional chiro-optical methods. With a focus on applications in life sciences and technology, it develops high-sensitivity, high-speed spectroscopic techniques to probe chiral biomolecules and electron dynamics, while ensuring rapid translation through strong industrial collaboration.

The network brings together 11 host institutions across Europe to train 16 Doctoral Candidates in both theoretical and experimental aspects of ultrafast chirality and attosecond science. It equips researchers with a versatile skill set at the interface of fundamental science, technology, and industry, supported by close interaction with leading industrial partners.
