PhD candidate for the group “Nonlinear Bulk and Interfacial Molecular Dynamics”
Offer DescriptionWe are looking for a motivated PhD candidate to participate in the building and exploiting of a powerful surface-sensitive heterodyned Sum Frequency Generation (SFG) spectrometer, for studying the photocatalytic (PC) water splitting activity of the novel family of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs).This PhD project, which will take place at the IMDEA nanoscience institute in Madrid, in the group of “Nonlinear Bulk and Interfacial Molecular Dynamics”, integral to the “Cesar Nombela” project from the community of Madrid, is dedicated to the development of the first SFG spectrometer in Spain and its application on studying in-situ and in the molecular level the potential of MOFs to complement or even substitute traditional solid-state materials in water splitting applications.MOFs are hybrid and highly versatile materials consisting of metal centers, connected with organic linkers. Families of MOFs showing (semi) conductive behavior are nowadays considered one of the most promising materials for applications where long-range charge transport is needed, including PC, due to their many favorable properties, like their world-record surface area, porosity, tunable bandgap, etc. Understanding in the molecular level the interactions taking place at the MOF/water interface, where the water splitting processes mainly take place is a crucial step to catalyze their implementation to devices.RequirementsResearch Field Physics Education Level Master Degree or equivalentSkills/QualificationsWe seek applications from motivated early-stage researchers with a strong background in molecular chemistry, spectroscopy, applied physics, physical chemistry or other closely related areas.Knowledge of programming languages like Matlab, Python, etc. is advantageous. The candidates are expected to thrive in an international environment and be excellent team players. For this reason, elevated English writing and spoken skills are demanded.Moreover, willingness to participate in outreach activities, conferences and international meetings is highly valued.Languages ENGLISH Level ExcellentAdditional InformationBenefits
