Postdoc in Surface Science Characterization of Electrocatalysts

This postdoctoral position focuses on the surface science characterization of electrocatalysts, indicating a need for advanced expertise in surface analytical techniques and electrocatalysis. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in materials science, chemistry, or a related field, with a particular emphasis on understanding and analyzing the surface properties of catalytic materials. Proficiency in techniques such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and electrochemical characterization methods is essential. Experience with data interpretation related to surface composition, morphology, and electronic structure will be critical for advancing research objectives. The role likely requires familiarity with electrocatalytic processes, including knowledge of reaction mechanisms, catalyst design, and performance evaluation under various electrochemical conditions. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to integrate surface science insights with catalytic activity data are important. Candidates should demonstrate the ability to conduct independent research, collaborate within multidisciplinary teams, and communicate scientific findings effectively through publications and presentations. While specific experience and education levels are not provided, the postdoctoral nature of the role implies a completed PhD in a relevant discipline and some prior research experience in surface science or catalysis. Overall, this position demands a combination of advanced surface characterization skills, electrochemical expertise, and a solid foundation in materials chemistry to contribute to the development and understanding of electrocatalysts.
