Postdoctoral Position Electron Microscopy Group

vor 1 Monat

Berlin, Deutschland Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Vollzeit

The Fritz Haber Institute (FHI) in Berlin is one of the oldest and most renowned research institutes within the Max Planck Society (MPG), Germany's most successful scientific organization (). At the FHI, researchers from all over the world are engaged in basic research in the fields of physics and chemistry at interfaces, catalysis research, and molecular physics.

The Department of Inorganic Chemistry () focuses on establishing fundamental understanding on the functionality of industrially applied heterogeneous catalysts. Key aspects of our research involve synthesis, state-of-the-art characterization, concept and method development, and operando studies to obtain insights into their working structures. We aim at finding structures responsible for activity at gas/solid, liquid/solid, and solid/solid interfaces and the origin of deactivation within complex systems.

Within an international collaboration between the Italian Institute of Technology, the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Con-version and industrial partners, the Inorganic Chemistry Department of the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society is offering a

Postdoctoral position (M/F/d)

to advance operando techniques in heterogeneous catalysis. The position is located in the electron microscopy group. It focuses on unraveling a comprehensive understanding of the working structure of key energy conversion materials, such as ammonia synthesis catalysts. It is centered around conducting and advancing electron microscopy studies (transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy) under operando conditions. Experiments will be complemented by (operando) X-ray diffraction and X-ray spectroscopy measurements as well as routine characterization techniques, such as TG-MS and XRF.

This position will offer the unique opportunity to work in a strong team that combines theoretical modelling and catalytic testing with comprehensive structural analysis by electron microscopy, X-ray spectroscopy in soft and hard X-ray regimes. The opportunity to publish the results will be provided.

The postdoctoral position is limited to two years.

**Profile**:

- A PhD degree in natural sciences (e.g. Physics, Chemistry, Material Science, Physical Chemistry or Chemical Engineering) preferably with a specialization in heterogeneous catalysis or energy science.
- Hands-on-experience in scanning electron microscopy or (aberration-corrected) transmission electron microscopy is required.
- Experience in X-ray diffraction measurements and analysis are ideal. The willingness to learn this technique is mandatory.
- Expertise in conducting operando measurements for thermal gas phase reactions.
- Pleasure and experience in instrumentation design and engineering tasks (e.g., assembly and construction of in situ cells) are mandatory.
- A good portion of pragmatism and the potential to look beyond their own horizon are required.
- Proven ability to write publications.
- Experience at performing and analyzing complex experiments with a high drive to solve scientific and practical/instrumental challenges independently.
- Collaborative spirit, teamwork, and excellent English skills.
- Curriculum vitae
- List of publications
