Postdoc position at AMOLF in Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science 1584 views

AMOLF is one of the research laboratories of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). The present position is a shared position between the Nanoscale Solar Cells group of prof. Erik Garnett at AMOLF (Amsterdam) and the Nanomaterials for Energy Applications group of Dr. Andrea Baldi at DIFFER (Eindhoven). The project is “Direct versus indirect mechanism of plasmon-driven catalysis”.

About the position:
  • The present research project tackles this fundamental question and aims at demonstrating experimentally the nature of plasmon-induced electron transfer in catalytic reactions.
  • The key ingredient will be the rational tuning of the plasmon resonance of the metal nanoparticles with respect to the molecular electronic states at their surface.
  • The electron transfer process will be studied by measuring the line-width broadening of the plasmon resonance in individual nanoparticles as well as the spectroscopic signature of chemical products, using single-particle techniques such as dark-field scattering spectroscopy (DIFFER), surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (DIFFER), single particle absorption spectroscopy (AMOLF), and cathodoluminescence spectroscopy (AMOLF).

Qualifications:

  • Applicant must be an outstanding scholar, willing to work in an international and interdisciplinary team of chemists and physicists.
  • Applicant must hold a recent PhD degree in Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science or a closely related field.
  • Prior experience in nanoparticle synthesis or optical microscopy and spectroscopy is not required, but is considered a plus.
  • Applicant must be willing to split your working schedule between DIFFER (Eindhoven) and AMOLF (Amsterdam), which will necessarily involve some commuting time.
  • Applicant must possess excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.

Duration: 1 year

Remuneration: up to a maximum of €4,154 per month

Application:

  • Apply by submitting an application letter and a full resume (vacancy 18.011) to: vacancies@differ.nl
