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.

PhD position, computational electrochemistry (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The Department of Chemistry, in the Faculty of Mathematics and Science is currently seeking to recruit a candidate for the position of
DOCTORAL RESEARCHER, COMPUTATIONAL ELECTROCHEMISTRY
starting on August 1st, 2022 or as agreed for four years.
A fully funded four-year PhD position in Computational electrochemistry is available in Adj. Prof. Marko Melander’s group at the Department of Chemistry at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. The newly established group focuses on understanding electrocatalytic reactions with multiscale methods ranging from advanced grand canonical ensemble DFT methods (GCE-DFT) to microkinetic simulations. In the current project funded through the Academy of Finland Research Fellow grant “CompEL: Computational Electrochemistry to Resolve Electrocatalytic Oxygen Reduction” we will address the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) with constant electrode potential and pH GCE-DFT methods. The project involves collaboration with both experimental and theoretical groups.
Responsibilities and tasks
The advertised position focuses on improving the description of electrochemical solid-liquid interfaces using implicit/explicit solvent models and constant potential/pH GCE-DFT methods. The successful applicant will work on the following topics:
This project will enable you to learn theoretical/computational approaches in electrocatalysis and modelling of electrochemical interfaces, to obtain implementation and method developments skills, and to work in a supportive, cross-disciplinary environment on an interesting project.
Qualifications we are looking for
Ideal candidates for this PhD position
Previous experience in Python programming, code/method development, and familiarity high-performance computing environments are considered as advantages but are not a must.
The tasks of a Doctoral Researcher focus on research aiming at the completion of a doctoral thesis, doctoral studies, assisting teaching tasks, and other related tasks to these.
The eligible candidate has or is about to obtain an MSc degree or equivalent in (computational) chemistry, physics, materials science, or related field.
