Postdoctoral position(m/f/d) | Study of catalysis with metals related to energy conversion
MAX-PLANCK GESELLSCHAFT
Description
The Fritz Haber Institute (FHI) in Berlin-Dahlem is one of the oldest and most renowned research institutes within the Max Planck Society (MPG), Germany's most successful scientific organization. At the FHI, researchers from all over the world are engaged in basic research in the fields of chemical physics at interfaces and surfaces, catalysis research and molecular physics.
In the Department of Inorganic Chemistry, we are dealing with fundamental research to understand the basic physical and chemical principles of existing catalytic processes as well as to discover new ways of sustainably converting energy into the production of chemicals and alternative synthetic fuels that help reduce the emission of carbon dioxide. Our studies include the conversion of water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and light hydrocarbons in gas- and liquid- phase reactions over solid catalysts. For this purpose, we operate a large number of specifically designed laboratory reactors.
We offer a postdoctoral position(m/f/d) for the study of catalysis with metals related to energy conversion.
Your tasks
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work in the field of heterogeneous catalysis with the main focus on catalyst testing under reaction conditions followed by its characterization by means of temperature program methods (TDS). Modification of the metal catalyst for optimal performance under CO2 hydrogenation and light alkanes dehydrogenation will be required. Also, adaptation of dedicated reactors is foreseen. Work will involve the collaboration with colleagues from spectroscopy and microscopy fields. The general topic of interest concerns hydrocarbons activation on a metal catalyst.
Your profile
We are looking for highly motivated scientist with social skills, who is able lead an own project and simultaneously be part of a team. The candidate should have a strong background in heterogeneous catalysis. A PhD in chemistry or chemical engineering is required.
We offer
A postdoctoral position for 2 years with the possibility of extension. Work in a stimulating international scientific society. The work location is the IRIS building near the synchrotron source BESSY II in Berlin Adlershof. Berlin is a large, cosmopolitan and tolerant city that offers you a wide variety of culture, art, music, and outdoor opportunities.
