PostDoc for Electron Microscopy (S/TEM) in Environmental Catalysis

jobbeskrivelse:
Application date Monday, February 9, 2015 - 23:59 Location Lyngby, Denmark How would you like to have the entire world as your workplace? We are expanding our research activities in environmental catalysis within the strong collaborative project “HyDeCat: Enabling Ultra Deep Hydrodesulfurization by Nanoscale Engineering of New Catalysts”. The project aims at engineering, atom-by-atom, future catalytic solutions to the environmental challenges faced globally by oil refineries, where the removal sulfur and nitrogen constituents in oil products must be advanced. We employ a multidisciplinary platform including state-of-the-art characterization tools, surface science techniques, microreactor testing and size-selected nanoparticle synthesis; competences that are made available at Haldor Topsoe A/S, the Technical University of Denmark, the iNANO center at Aarhus University and affiliated partners in UK and USA. Your efforts will be to undertake experimental studies of MoS2-based catalysts using (scanning) transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM) and to contribute actively to our collaborative research goals. The studies will involve single-atom sensitive electron microscopy in collaboration with international leading researchers at the SuperSTEM Laboratory (UK) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (USA). The position is a 1.5-year PostDoc position. Your responsibilities •Develop our atomic-scale model for MoS2-based oil refining catalysis •Experimental research related to our oil refining catalysts •Application of S/TEM with single-atom sensitivity You • Are committed, flexible, and focused •Are ready to face new challenges and like team-work •Possess excellent skills to evaluate and communicate results •Are enthusiastic about working globally at the frontier of catalysis sciences. Qualifications Ideally, you have a Ph.D. in physics, chemistry, or a related field, and have an outstanding foundation in (scanning) transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM). Further information If you would like to be part of a team of skilled and dynamic colleagues in an informal organization, please submit your application and resume in Danish or English and enclose a copy of your exam certificates and any references. Haldor Topsoe is market leading in the field of heterogeneous catalysis. We supply catalysts and technologies for the refining industry, for cleaning power industry flue gases and for sustainable energy processes. In 2013 the turnover totaled 715 million Euro generated by our 2,700 employees around the world.
