Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
A PhD position in Computational Heterogeneous Ca ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A fully funded four-year PhD position is now open in the group of Prof. Karoliina Honkala at Department of Chemistry, University of Jyväskylä, Finland.
The selected PhD student will be part of an interdisciplinary project, involving partners from various European countries. The project’s primary focus is on the direct conversion of CO2 to ethylene through methanol, employing nanostructured tandem catalysts. The PhD student will utilize density-functional theory calculations to gain insight how the structure of a tandem catalyst and the reaction mechanism influence catalytic activity and selectivity. The PhD student will work closely with multiple experimental groups within the project, and the computational results obtained will contribute to the rational development of catalysts.
We are seeking for a highly motivated candidate who either holds or is close to obtaining an MSc degree inchemistry, physics, or material science with some experience in materials modeling. Knowledge in computational catalysis is considered advantageous. In addition to strong academic background, the candidate should possess excellent written and oral communication skills in English and the ability to conduct research independently.
