Postdoc position in Single Particle Catalysis 991 views

The Langhammer group at the Chemical Physics Division at the Department of Physics at Chalmers University of Technology is inviting applications for a Postdoc position in Single Particle Catalysis.

About the project:
  • The first focus of this project is the operation and further tuning of a unique new experimental setup that we have built, which unites plasmonic nanospectrocopy with mass spectrometry from nanofluidic reactors, to enable beyond-state-of-the-art operando characterization of catalytic processes on individual nanoparticles with well-defined and characterized size, shape and chemical composition.
  • The second focus of this project is the application of a recently patented optical spectroscopy method to investigate structure-function correlations of nobel metal catalyst nanoparticles.

Responsibilities:

  • design experiments and nanoreactors
  • nanofabricate the designed nanoreactors
  • implement the use of optical nanospectroscopy for the ananlysis of single particle catalyst activity
  • execute experiments to derive single particle structure – function correlations during catalytic reactions
  • develop and implement software solutions for the efficient real time collection and post-experiment analysis of large data sets obtained during your experiments
  • evaluate and summarize your data and share them with our cross-diciplinary research team

Qualifications:

  • Applicant must hold PhD in Physics with focus on chemical physics or nanomaterials physics. The PhD degree must not be older than 2 years.
  • Significant experience with advanced nanofabrication, including electron beam lithography.
  • Experience with a model-system type of catalysis research, and/or nanoplasmonics and/or nanofluidics are considered a merit.
  • Experience with electrodynamics simulations (e.g. FDTD) are considered a merit.
  • The position also requires excellent communication skills in written and spoken English.
