Postdoctoral Researcher in Experimental Hydrocarbon Electrolysis
Postdoctoral Researcher in Experimental Hydrocarbon Electrolysis
Aalto University
Espoo, Finland
The Department of Chemistry and Materials Science is looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher in experimental hydrocarbon electrolysis (2-4 years fixed term) for the new research group of Electrolytic processes headed by Prof. Pekka Peljo. The group will move from University of Turku to Aalto University from 1.4.2025. The position is funded by Research Council of Finland project H2fromHE, where hydrogen production by hydrocarbon electrolysis is investigated both experimentally and computationally – the sought person has the ability and willingness to drive high-profile, interdisciplinary research in a joint effort between experimental and computational / theory research. This project includes collaboration with the computational group of Prof. Kari Laasonen, while catalyst materials will be provided by collaborators. Additionally, a research visit to University of Reading, UK, is planned for realizing low temperature electrochemistry measurements. The tentative starting date would be 1.4.2025 but can be negotiated.
Your background and expertise
The selected person will be appointed for a fixed term. The successful candidate will conduct experimental scientific research aiming at high impact scientific publications in the field of electrocatalysis. Research methodology is experimental electrochemistry, including microelectrode measurements in non-aqueous solvents. The position also involves participation of departmental teaching and student instruction.
The positions require an active approach, diligence and cooperation skills, as well as experience in laboratory work and an excellent, recently obtained (max 5 years) PhD degree in, for example, in Chemistry or related field (Material Science or Physics). You should demonstrate strong aptitude to research of electrocatalysis.
We appreciate (note that the applicant does not need to have all the following knowledge and skills):
- expertise in electrochemistry and electrocatalysis
- microelectrode measurements in non-aqueous solvents
- expertise in physical chemistry
- chemical analysis of the reaction products
