2 weeks ago


Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) Full time

We are seeking two talented postdoctoral researchers to join our team at SurfCat, a pioneering research group in surface science at Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU). The positions involve developing and optimizing novel catalysts for ammonia synthesis using thermal and electrochemical approaches.

Our team has a proven track record of success in activating molecular nitrogen using both thermal and electrochemical methods. However, we are now looking for experts who can help us scale up our findings and create high-area materials that meet the demands of industrial ammonia production.

The successful candidates will work closely with our experienced researchers to design, synthesize, test, and characterize new catalysts. This will involve collaborating with other groups within DTU and industry partners to ensure the effective translation of our research into practical applications.

About the Job Description:

  1. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Professor Ib Chorkendorff and contribute to the development of new catalysts for ammonia synthesis.
  2. The researcher will be responsible for designing, synthesizing, testing, and characterizing new catalysts using a range of advanced experimental techniques.
  3. The position offers a unique opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary environment and contribute to groundbreaking research in surface science and catalysis.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

  • PhD degree in Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or Materials Science
  • Strong background in surface science, catalysis, and experimental techniques
