PhD Student: Surface Reactions in Plasma Catalysis

4 weken 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)".

Project Overview

The SURPLAS project aims to determine the surface reaction mechanisms of catalysts in plasma and demonstrate the rational design of plasma catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation. As a PhD student, you will investigate the interaction of catalytically active metals favoring different products and determine the details of reaction pathways at the surface.

Responsibilities
  • Prepare atomically clean surfaces in ultra-high vacuum and perform spectroscopy experiments to determine their active state live during exposure to plasma.
  • Analyze the surface composition and oxidation state of the active surface using photoelectron spectroscopy.
  • Identify the key reaction intermediates of plasma-catalytic reactions using infrared absorption spectroscopy.
Requirements
  • 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, with a starting salary of gross € 2.781 per month and a range of employment benefits.

How to Apply

You can respond to this vacancy online on the ARCNL webpage. Please send your resume and motivation letter (max. 1 page) explaining why you want to perform the outlined research.
