PhD Researcher Position: Plasma Catalysis and Surface Science

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team at the Advanced Research Center for Nanolithography (ARCNL) to work on the project "Resolving surface reactions in plasma catalysis: Towards rational catalyst design (SURPLAS)".

Project Overview

The SURPLAS project aims to understand the active state of catalyst surfaces in plasma environments and to develop a rational design of plasma catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation. As a PhD researcher, you will use a unique approach combining surface-sensitive spectroscopy techniques with highly reactive plasma environments to resolve the critical steps of plasma-assisted reactions at surfaces.

Key Responsibilities

  1. Conduct experiments using surface-sensitive spectroscopy techniques to study the interaction of plasma-activated species with catalyst surfaces.
  2. Analyze data to determine the surface reaction mechanisms of catalysts in plasma environments.
  3. Develop a rational design of plasma catalysts for CO2 hydrogenation.

Requirements

  • University degree in physics, physical chemistry, or a related field.
  • Good verbal and written communication skills in English.
  • Prior experience with surface science, ultra-high vacuum, and spectroscopy techniques is considered an advantage.

Working Conditions

The position is a full-time appointment for four years, with a starting salary of gross € 2.781 per month and a range of employment benefits. ARCNL assists any new foreign PhD-student with housing and visa applications and compensates their transport costs and furnishing expenses.

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.
