Postdoc Position - Correlated Operando Electron and X-ray Microscopy of Electrocatalysts
Postdoc Position - Correlated Operando Electron and X-ray Microscopy of Electrocatalysts
Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society
Berlin, Germany
We have an immediate opening for a postdoctoral fellow (m/f/d) in the liquid phase electron microscopy group led by Dr. See Wee Chee. The successful candidate will perform in situ/operando studies looking at the behavior of heterogeneous catalysts under reaction conditions using state-of-the-art liquid cell transmission electron microscopy (TEM) holders and perform correlated transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM) studies at synchrotron radiation beamlines. The research projects will use both TEM and TXM to visualize the structure and oxidation state of working catalysts under reaction conditions and investigate their underlying structure-property relationships.
The Postdoc position is initially for one year, with the possibility of extending it up to three years.
Requirements
Applicants must have a Ph.D. degree in the physical sciences or are expected to graduate within six months with a PhD.
The applicant must have experience in the use of synchrotron X-ray methods to study functional materials and the analysis of the acquired data sets. The applicant must also be proficient in the writing of scripts for image and/or spectral analysis. Only candidates with a strong track record of publications related to synchrotron X-ray work will be short-listed.
Experience in one or more of the following areas will also be preferred:
- Materials characterization using transmission electron microscopy;
- Scanning transmission X-ray microscopy;
- In situ and operando experiments;
- Advanced and/or automated data analysis.
