Postdoc Position in Materials Chemistry at the Mads Clausen Institute, The University of Southern Denmark in Sønderborg, Denmark
2 months ago
We are seeking an enthusiastic new colleague as a postdoctoral research associate in the field of Materials Chemistry with a strong background, particularly in Solid State Chemistry and (Photo)electrochemistry, and interest in industrial applications and cooperation to join the Mads Clausen Institute (MCI) at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) in Sønderborg, Denmark. The position is for three years with an expected starting date or as soon as possible.
MCI is a part of the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) and covers research and education including applications of engineering sciences. Our working language is English, reflecting the fact that far more than half of our students and staff are internationals. We are located at SDU's beautiful campus in Sønderborg, in the inspiring building of Alsion, which is a centre for science, culture and learning in the heart of Sønderborg and perched on the strait of water separating the island of Als from the mainland. The university has very close relations with industries in Sønderborg, Southern Denmark, and Northern Germany.
The successful candidate is expected to carry out research mainly within a project funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The project is hosted by the nanotechnology centre NanoSYD, a part of MCI. The research work involves the synthesis and characterization of novel compounds based on mixed anion compounds (e.g., transition metal (oxy)nitrides) and the evaluation of their performance in solar water splitting. Also, the successful candidate is expected to be actively involved in the supervision of MSc and PhD students affiliated with SDU NanoSYD, preparing project reports, presentations, and publications as well as writing project proposals for supporting research at SDU NanoSYD.
Job Description and Responsibilities
Collaborative and independent research planning, materials synthesis and characterization, and evaluation of materials performance in solar water splitting;
Independent characterization, data analysis, and interpretation of research results;
Scientific communication and presentation of research results at group seminars, scientific conferences, project meetings, etc.;
Publishing of project results in international peer-reviewed scientific journals with high-impact factors.
Potential Responsibilities
Supervision of BSc, MSc, and exchange/visiting students who perform research works on similar research topics;
Assistance in teaching activities;
Assistance in the preparation of grant proposals for external funding.
Mandatory qualifications
PhD degree in Materials Science, Materials Chemistry, Solid State Chemistry, Solid State Physics, Electrochemistry, or related fields;
Proven hands-on experience and knowledge of various synthesis methods in solid-state chemistry, preferably the methods used for the synthesis of mixed-anion compounds;
Technical skills in materials characterization techniques (e.g., XRD, XPS, SEM, etc.);
Proven track record of publishing in international peer-reviewed scientific journals as first author;
Fluency in English (both spoken and written);
Ability to work in teams and also independently;
Strong communication skills;
Willingness to collaborate with other scientists and industry.
Following qualifications are advantageous
Research experience in X-ray, synchrotron, and neutron radiation facilities;
Research experience in electrochemistry and solar water splitting;
Technical skills in scientific illustration and animation to deliver visual knowledge of the project;
Proven record in participating in national and international research projects;
Strong interest in a long-term commitment to a growing research group.
Application procedure:
Before applying all candidates are expected to read the SDU information on how to apply and specific faculty information for application at the Faculty of Engineering.
The application shall include the following documents in English:
Curriculum Vitae.
Certificates/Diplomas (Bachelor, Master, and PhD degrees) – Danish and/or English transcripts.
Complete list of publications (please highlight publications most relevant to the offered position).
Research statement on developing novel transition metal-based mixed anion compounds, particularly (oxy)nitrides, for solar water splitting.
A reference letter may be submitted, but is not required.
The files should not exceed 10 MB.
