Reference No. SE 2024/14
The Department Interface Design is looking for
Postdoc (f/m/d) for the In-situ/Operando Investigation of Novel Fischer-Tropsch Catalysts by Synchrotron-based X-ray Spectroscopies
Your Tasks
- Characterization of catalyst materials using X-ray spectroscopic methods
- Investigation of the formation of co-species and identification of their influence on the physicochemical properties of the catalyst for the desired (electro-)chemical reactions
- Use of various X-ray probes to analyse the chemical and electronic structure of the involved surfaces, interfaces and material volume, which should provide crucial insights for a knowledge-based optimization approach
- Support of the further development of spectroscopic methods for the characterization of catalysts for the production of green fuel
- Deriving related model systems; especially for in-system, in-situ or operando experiments
- Writing beamtime applications, organizing and supporting synchrotron measurement campaigns
- Monitoring progress, obtaining internal feedback, writing project reports
- Presentation and publication of results at international conferences/workshops and in peer-reviewed journals
Your Profile
- We are looking for a highly motivated and curious scientist holding a doctoral degree in physics, (electro-)chemistry, chemical engineering, or material science.
- Knowledge in operando X-ray spectroscopies and (heterogeneous) catalysis is necessary.
- Programming skills for efficient data handling, e.g. Python, are advantageous.
- We will expect an independent communication and collaboration with project partners to organize sample exchange and measurement campaigns from you.
- Excellent English communication skills are necessary. Additional German skills are advantageous. High level of intercultural competence and ability to work in a team is necessary.
We ask you to enclose the following documents with your application:
- Motivation letter, including your research interests
- Curriculum vitae with the stages of your career, publications, research experience and the contact details of at least two scientific references
- Certificates and grades
