Several PhD positions in Interfacial Ionics Group - Berlin, Deutschland - Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft

Beschreibung

The Interfacial Ionics group () is looking for PhD students in electrochemistry that are being hired as part of the ERC Starting Grant ORION ().

The projects cover ionic processes that occur inside the double layer at electrocatalyst-electrolyte interfaces. Reactions include NH3 and CH3OH oxidation, NO and CO2 reduction, as well as CO2 separation (for CO2 capture). Your main goal will be to study the ionic processes with fundamental electrochemistry and operando spectroscopy.

Female candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
The PhD candidates are expected to graduate after three years.

Requirements


We expect candidates to have a:

• A strong MSc degree in Physics, Physical Chemistry, Chemistry or Chemical Engineering.
• Experience with Python, Matlab and/or Multiphysics simulations (e.g. COMSOL) is strongly preferred.
• Experience at performing experiments with a high drive to solve scientific and instrumental challenges.
• Excellent English skills.
