Material Synthesis Expert for X-ray Scattering and Electrochemistry

1 day ago


Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet (KU) Full time

The Department of Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen offers a postdoctoral position in materials chemistry with a strong focus on using X-ray scattering methods to characterize atomic structure and understand material synthesis pathways.

Project Overview

The first project will involve ultrafast X-ray scattering at synchrotron and XFEL sources to study atomic-scale structural changes during chemical synthesis of nanoparticles. We aim to perform time-resolved Pair Distribution Function experiments to elucidate nanoparticle formation mechanisms and precursor cluster dissociation processes.

The second project focuses on size/structure relations and formation mechanisms for disordered oxide nanomaterials and high-entropy materials for electrocatalysis. Here, we will use synchrotron techniques, including X-ray total scattering and spectroscopy, to investigate material formation pathways via in situ studies and characterize their electrocatalytic properties through operando experiments.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct research within chemistry and contribute to teaching activities.
  • Perform other duties as required by the department.
Requirements
  • PhD degree in experimental chemistry, nanoscience, physics, or a similar field.
  • Experience in material synthesis and advanced modelling of scattering or spectroscopy data.
  • Extensive experience in synchrotron, neutron, or XFEL experiments.
  • Excellent English communication skills and the ability to write scientific papers at a high level.
  • Ability to conduct independent and creative research, demonstrate scientific productivity, and show good inter-personal and communication skills.
What We Offer

As a postdoc at the University of Copenhagen, you will work within an international, cross-disciplinary group and co-supervise students and other group members. The university wishes its staff to reflect the diversity of society and welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of personal background.
