PhD Student: Surface Reactions in Plasma Catalysis

7 dagen geleden


Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Nederland ARCNL Voltijd
Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our research group at the Advanced Research Center for Nanolithography (ARCNL). The successful candidate will work on a fully funded PhD project entitled "Resolving surface reactions in plasma catalysis: Towards rational catalyst design (SURPLAS)".

The project aims to understand the active state of a surface during plasma exposure and to determine the surface reaction mechanisms of catalysts in plasma. The PhD student will use a unique approach combining surface-sensitive spectroscopy techniques with highly reactive plasma environment to resolve the critical steps of plasma-assisted reactions at surfaces.

The research activities of the Materials and Surface Science for EUV Lithography group at ARCNL focus on the atomic-scale understanding of surface processes in challenging environments, such as plasmas, high light intensities, and high temperatures.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate has a university degree in physics, physical chemistry, or a related field that satisfies the Dutch university requirement to enter into a PhD program. Good verbal and written communication skills in English are required. Prior experience with surface science, ultra-high vacuum, and spectroscopy techniques is considered an advantage for the project.

Working Conditions

The position is intended as full-time (40 hours/week, 12 months/year) appointment in the service of the Netherlands Foundation of Scientific Research Institutes (NWO-I) for the duration of four years. The starting salary is gross € 2,781 per month, and a range of employment benefits are offered. After successful completion of the PhD research, a PhD degree will be granted at a Dutch University.

How to Apply

You can respond to this vacancy online on the ARCNL webpage. Please send your resume and a motivation letter (max. 1 page) explaining why you want to perform the outlined research. We will only consider your application if it includes your motivation letter.
