Postdoc: Optical methods for operando investigation in liquid reactors
2 maanden geleden
This position is part of a EU rpoject consortium to develop a new type of photo-chemical reactor.
Work ActivitiesThe 3DPV group at NWO-Institute AMOLF is looking for a Postdoc candidate on operando characterisation inside a novel plasmonic-based photo-reactor. The project is part of the European ReaCtor consortium, which aims at designing and fabricating a novel micro reactor for sustainable flow chemistry. The consortium combines expertise in optical fiber design and fabrication (Institute of Quantum Optics at Leibniz University Hannover in Germany and Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics in Poland), laser structuring of glass materials (Light-Matter interactions and Extreme-Applications Photonics Lab at University of La Laguna on Tenerife in Spain) and flow chemistry (Noël research group at the University of Amsterdam).
This PD project contributes to the novel micro reactor by investigating the effect of plasmonic metal nanoparticles in enhancing photocatalysis inside optical fiber reactors. Different operando techniques will be pursued to monitor the chemical reactions in space and time, including scanning probe and spectroscopic (i.e. fluorescence and Raman). The goal is to probe the reaction kinetics from the single particle to the ensamble, and determine the ideal plasmonic particle density inside the reactor. In doing so, you will contribute to a novel type of light-driven chemical reactor, which will significantly reduce the energy consumption of catalytic processes in combination with an enormous scale-up potential.
This project will be in close collaboration with the other consortium partners, including consortium researchers at Dr. Albercht’s group at AMOLF and Prof. Noël’s group at the UvA, and you will be part of all consortium activities such as symposia, workshops, and mutual visits.
QualificationsWe are looking for a highly motivated PhD in physics, chemistry or similar, with good organizational and communication skills. Prior experience in photo-chemistry, operando spectroscopy, and/or plasmonics is preferred. Excellent verbal and written English skills are essential.
Work environmentAMOLF is a part of NWO-I and initiate and performs leading fundamental research on the physics of complex forms of matter, and to create new functional materials, in partnership with academia and industry. The institute is located at Amsterdam Science Park and currently employs about 140 researchers and 80 support employees. www.amolf.nl
Working conditions- The working atmosphere at the institute is largely determined by young, enthusiastic, mostly foreign employees. Communication is informal and runs through short lines of communication.
- 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 XX years
- Salary is in scale 10 (CAO-OI) which starts at 4.065 Euro’s gross per month, and a range of employment benefits.
- AMOLF assists any new foreign Postdoc with housing and visa applications and compensates their transport costs and furnishing expenses.
