The Fritz Haber Institute (Department of Inorganic Chemistry) offers a PhD position for the study of perimeter effects of bimetallic nanocatalyst systems by means of chemical electron microscopy.

Tasks:

• The successful candidate will perform chemical electron microscopy to conclude on perimeter and structure in bimetallic nanocatalyst systems.
• The investigations will include quasi in-situ electron microscopy of the chosen system where the corresponding catalytic reaction is performed in a TEM-grid reactor.
• By combining the outcome of this work with the results of complementary techniques of the participating institutions, an improved understanding of coupled catalytic systems will be generated.

Requirements:

• Applicant must be an excellent, highly motivated scientist to join the team.
• Applicant must have completed university degree (Master, Diploma or equivalent) in Chemistry, Physics or Materials Science.
• A background in heterogeneous catalysis and/or experience with transmission electron microscopy is advantageous.

Duration: 3 years

Applications:

• Application to be sent via email to hetaba@fhi-berlin.mpg.de including following documents:
• CV
• Publication list
• A short description of previous research
• Names and addresses of two referees
• Quote the reference “UniSysCat” in the subject heading to
