Postdoctoral Position in Plasmonic Photoelectrochemistry

Postdoctoral Position in Plasmonic Photoelectrochemistry

EPFL - Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne

Lausanne, Switzerland

Your mission:

The Laboratory of Nanoscience for Energy Technologies (LNET) is looking for a postdoctoral fellow with strong expertise in (photo)electrochemistry to contribute to the ongoing research effort in plasmonic photoelectrochemistry for solar energy storage, including CO2 reduction and solar redox flow batteries. Our interests cover both the unravelling of fundamental processes in plasmonic-driven chemistry through scanning electrochemical microscopy and the development of device-level demonstrations.

Main duties and responsibilities include:

The candidate will lead the investigation of plasmon-driven CO2 reduction processes, with a special focus on light-controlled selectivity. The candidate will have the opportunity to gain new skills in nanophotonic engineering and optical spectroscopy. The candidate will have the opportunity to supervise both PhD students and junior researchers (BSc/MSc students).

Your profile:

We are looking for a candidate with a strong interest in highly inter-disciplinary projects. The ideal profile would have:

• expertise and proven track record in (photo)electrochemistry
• prior experience with CO2 reduction
• prior experience in scanning electrochemical microscopy
• excellent communication and writing skills

We are a highly collaborative group and therefore we seek candidates with excellent team-work capabilities and interpersonal skills.
