169710 Søg stillingen Postdoc opening in experimental surface science for a project that investigates N2O decomposition model catalysts at the Interfaces and Catalysis group, Department of Chemistry, Aarhus University. We seek an experimental surface scientist experienced with near-ambient pressure Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and x-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy.
The position is for at least 1.5 years with an expected start date on February 1, 2027. Job description The project concerns catalysts for reduction of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, that are recognized as the third strongest contributor to global warming after CO2 and methane.
The challenge with the current catalyst types is the relatively high temperature required to run the catalytic N2O decomposition process efficiently. As a postdoc, you will become part of a research team that investigates the structure and chemical properties of heterogeneous catalysts1 …
