Postdoc of Materials Chemistry and X-ray total scatteringDepartment of Chemistry, Faculty of Science at University of Copenhagen is offering one or more postdoc positions (18-24 months) commencing 1 December 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The positions are within materials chemistry with a strong focus on the use of X-ray scattering methods for characterization of atomic structure, as well as understanding material synthesis pathways.
The first project will concern the use of ultrafast X-ray scattering at synchrotron and XFEL sources to follow atomic scale structural changes taking place during chemical synthesis of nanoparticles. We aim to perform ultrafast time resolved Pair Distribution Function experiments to study the formation mechanism of nanoparticles and elucidate how precursor clusters in solution dissociate and nucleate to form nanoparticles. The postdoc project also involves synthesis development with focus on photo-induced reactions.
The second project lies within size/structure relations and formation mechanisms for disordered oxide nanomaterials and high entropy materials for electrocatalysis. Here, the aim is to use synchrotron techniques including X-ray total scattering and X-ray spectroscopy to elucidate the formation pathways for materials using in situ synchrotron studies, as well as characterize their electrocatalytic properties through operando experiments.
The position is in the Nanostructure group at Department of Chemistry, led by Associate Professor Kirsten M. Ø. Jensen. The postdoc's duties will include research within chemistry as well as teaching. The post may also include performance of other duties.
To be considered, applicants must have a PhD degree in experimental chemistry, nanoscience, physics, or a similar field with experience in material synthesis. Extensive experience in synchrotron, neutron or XFEL experiments is furthermore required, including experience in advanced modelling of scattering or spectroscopy data. Experience with especially total scattering and Pair Distribution Function analysis will be considered an advantage. The candidate should be able to conduct independent and creative research, demonstrate scientific productivity, and show good inter-personal and communication skills. The candidate will work within our international, cross-disciplinary group and will co-supervise students and other group members. The candidate must have excellent English communication skills, and the ability to write scientific papers at a high level.
The position is open from 1 December 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The University wishes our staff to reflect the diversity of society and thus welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
Terms of employment
The position is covered by the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff. Terms of appointment and payment accord to the agreement between the Ministry of Taxation and The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations on Academics in the State. Negotiation for salary supplement is possible.
