Full/Part Time:
Full-Time
Regular/Temporary:
Post Doctorate
Requires a Ph.D. in chemistry, physics, materials science, or a related field and at least two years of postdoctoral experience. A demonstrated record of successful experimental research in the broader field of catalytic chemistry is required. Previous experience in model catalysis studies or the probing of energy-relevant chemical processes is desirable. Expertise in specific experimental methods, such as STM, and other surface science sample preparation and characterization techniques (XPS, ISS, LEED, IRRAS) is a plus. The department is seeking a full-time staff scientist in the area of in-situ studies on model catalysts. The CFN is a user-oriented research center with a scientific focus on energy-related themes, and with state-of-art facilities in materials synthesis, nanofabrication and structural and functional characterization. The successful candidate will be expected to develop a high-visibility experimental research program within the CFNâ??s Interface Science & Catalysis Group, emphasizing the interplay between the structure, chemical composition, activity, and selectivity of model catalysts. World-class instrumentation, including a new Reactor Scanning Tunneling Microscope capable of simultaneously probing model catalysts at relevant pressures and temperatures, will be available. The appointment is anticipated at the Assistant Scientist level, but a more senior appointment may be considered for exceptionally qualified candidates. When submitting your electronic application, please include (in one document), your curriculum vitae, a list of publications and presentations, and a brief (maximum 2 pages) statement of research interests. Under the direction of P. Sutter, Center for Functional Nanomaterials.
