The Department of Physics at Utrecht University has an opening for a Pos
tdoc Position: In-Situ Electron Microscopy of Electrochemistry.
As a postdoctoral researcher, the candidate will be conducting in-situ electrochemistry experiments in the transmission electron microscope (TEM).
Electrochemical processes are typically ruled by mechanisms acting at the nanoscale, and TEM is capable of determining the morphology and crystal structure of materials at atomic scale resolution. Utrecht University is leading in the development of in-situ TEM, where nanomaterials can be placed in liquid or gas environments and subjected to heating and biasing in order to study the electrodes under realistic (in operando) conditio.
In this project, they will focus on battery electrochemistry with Na, Zn, and Mn ions in novel porous nanomaterials.
Duration: 3 years
Salary
- A gross monthly salary between €3,378 and €5,331 in the case of full-time employment;
- 8% holiday pay and 8.3% year-end bonus;
- A pension scheme, partially paid parental leave and flexible terms of employment based on the CAO NU.
Job Requirements
- A collaborative and enthusiastic colleague with a scientific background in chemistry or physics, and with experience in electron microscopy.
- Experience with in-situ electron microscopy or electrochemistry is very welcome.
Application Process
Interested applicants are welcome to submit the following documents for application:
- letter of motivation;
- curriculum vitae;
- the names, telephone numbers, and email addresses of at least two referens;
- a copy of their PhD certificate, or a letter from their university stating when the defence will take place.
