PostDoc positions on “Live” Visualizations of Single Nanoparticle Catalysts at the Atomic-Scale – DTU Physics
Danmarks Tekniske Universitet
Job Description:Could you envision “seeing” chemical reactions being catalyzed at the atomic-scale? Two or more PostDoc positions are now open for experimental research in nanoparticle catalysis using advanced operando electron microscopy at the Center for Visualizing Catalytic Processes (VISION).VISION is developing and applying a new unique platform for visualizing catalytic nanoparticles and reactions at the atomic-level by integrating cutting-edge electron microscopy, microfabricated nanoreactors, nanoparticle synthesis and computational modelling. This approach enables new, direct operando observations that are urgently needed to advance mechanistic insight into catalytic processes at the atomic-scale.The interdisciplinary approach aims at relating the atomic-scale structure, dynamics and functions of isolated, single nanoparticles in both thermal catalysis and electrocatalysis as a radical new approach for developing new and more efficient catalysts needed to tackle the environmental challenges of our time.VISION’s hosts a new one-of-a-kind electron microscope facility, located in DTU’s new “Climate Challenge Laboratory” building. The new laboratory will host the VISION center, the Surface Physics and Catalysis section, the CatTheory section and the Pioneer Center, CAPeX, as a vibrant collaborative research environment with internationally leading scientists in the fields of catalysis and power-to-X.Responsibilities and tasksPosition 1: You will work quantitatively with the atomic structure and functionality of single nanoparticles in thermal catalysis. The tasks can include:
Position 2: You will work quantitatively with the dynamic behaviour of single nanoparticles in thermal catalysis. The tasks can include:
In both positions, you will collaborate closely with a group of PhD students, postdocs and international leading scientists, all working at the technological edge of modern electron microscopy for advancing catalysis science.Qualifications
As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).We favor candidates with a degree in physics, chemistry or materials science. Candidates should have documented skills in atomic-resolution electron microscopy and, preferably, experience with operando electron microscopy experiments, microfabricated devices, catalysis or surface science. Experience in scientific programming, e.g. using Python, is important. The candidate should also have demonstrated outstanding problem-solving skills as well as very good communication skills in both spoken and written English.We offer
In the cover letter, we kindly ask you to consider which of the positions appeal most to you.Applications received after the deadline will not be considered.All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, disability, race, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply.Technology for people
DTU develops technology for people. With our international elite research and study programmes, we are helping to create a better world and to solve the global challenges formulated in the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Hans Christian Ørsted founded DTU in 1829 with a clear mission to develop and create value using science and engineering to benefit society. That mission lives on today. DTU has 13,500 students and 6,000 employees. We work in an international atmosphere and have an inclusive, evolving, and informal working environment. DTU has campuses in all parts of Denmark and in Greenland, and we collaborate with the best universities around the world.
