Postdoc in operando electrocatalysis of nanomaterials at the Department of Chemistry

This postdoctoral position in operando electrocatalysis of nanomaterials within a Department of Chemistry requires advanced expertise in electrocatalysis, nanomaterials synthesis, and characterization techniques. The candidate should have a strong background in chemistry, particularly physical chemistry or materials chemistry, with a focus on catalytic processes under operational conditions. Proficiency in operando techniques, which involve analyzing catalysts in real time during electrochemical reactions, is essential. This includes experience with electrochemical methods such as cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and impedance spectroscopy. Familiarity with advanced nanomaterial synthesis methods and characterization tools such as electron microscopy (TEM, SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and spectroscopy techniques (Raman, XPS) is important. The role likely demands skills in designing experiments to correlate structural and electronic properties of nanomaterials with their catalytic performance. Candidates should be adept at data analysis and interpretation, possibly including experience with software for electrochemical data processing and materials characterization. A strong publication record in related fields and experience working independently in a research environment are typically expected. While specific experience and education levels are not detailed, a PhD in chemistry, materials science, or a related discipline with a focus on electrocatalysis and nanomaterials is implied. Overall, this role suits a researcher with a solid foundation in chemistry and materials science, skilled in operando experimental techniques and committed to advancing understanding of catalytic processes at the nanoscale.
