VISION, DTU Physics
Denmark
PostDoc positions on “Live” Visualizations of Single Nanoparticle Catalysts at the Atomic-Scale – DTU Physics
Announcement date: 16 February 2024Description
Could you envision “seeing” chemical reactions being catalyzed at the atomic-scale?
Two or more PostDoc positions are now open for experimental research in nanoparticle catalysis using advanced operando electron microscopy at the Center for Visualizing Catalytic Processes (VISION).
VISION is developing and applying a new unique platform for visualizing catalytic nanoparticles and reactions at the atomic-level by integrating cutting-edge electron microscopy, microfabricated nanoreactors, nanoparticle synthesis and computational modelling. This approach enables new, direct operando observations that are urgently needed to advance mechanistic insight into catalytic processes at the atomic-scale.
Your complete online application must be submitted no later than 10 March 2024 (23:59 Danish time).
Requirements
As a formal qualification, you must hold a PhD degree (or equivalent).
We favor candidates with a degree in physics, chemistry or materials science. Candidates should have documented skills in atomic-resolution electron microscopy and, preferably, experience with operando electron microscopy experiments, microfabricated devices, catalysis or surface science. Experience in scientific programming, e.g. using Python, is important. The candidate should also have demonstrated outstanding problem-solving skills as well as very good communication skills in both spoken and written English.

Nantes, France
PhD position in Materials Science (polymers and biomolecules) and volume cryo-Electron Microscopy
Announcement date: 14 February 2024 - Deadline for application: 06 May 2024Description
Job reference: UMR6502-PATABE-004
We are looking for a PhD candidate for developing pioneering cryogenic electron microscopy methods for membrane characterization to evaluate enzyme availability and filtration properties at the nanoscale. This information, which is currently unavailable, is crucial for engineering a novel generation of biocatalytic membrane reactors that could enable the valorisation of the microalgae biomass, supporting a transition to sustainable growth and development, with potential impacts in the food system to ensure access to safe and healthy food for future generations, sustainable energies, and green chemistry and engineering. This PhD thesis is funded as part of an international collaborative research project (PRCI), named PREMIUM, supported by the French and German national research agencies (ANR and DFG). It brings together leading groups in the Institute of Materials of Nantes Jean Rouxel (IMN, Nantes, France), the Process Engineering for Environment and Food Laboratory (GEPEA, Saint-Nazaire, France) and the Leibniz Institute of Surface Engineering (IOM, Leibniz, Germany). The PhD program will be hosted at the IMN, which is a joined research centre between CNRS and the Nantes University, composed by over 200 staff members including over 120 permanent staff members (professors, CNRS researchers, engineers) and around 80 PhD students and postdoctoral researchers.
Requirements
You hold a MSc in the chemistry, biology, bioprocessing, materials science, process engineering or related disciplines.You are enthusiastic and greatly interested on performing accurate experimental work using advanced equipment, experimental design as well as data processing methods.
You would like an interdisciplinary project with potential benefits for industry and manufactures.
You are quality-oriented, conscientious, creative, and cooperative, with a taste for scientific rigor.
You are able to communicate to different audiences and have high level of English.
Some experience in laboratory settings is necessary because of the experimental methodologies developments expected.Some experience with data processing and statistical work would be appreciated. Experience in spectroscopies, analytical chemistry, immunolabelling techniques, interactions beam-matter or microscopy would also be appreciated.
