The Exner group at the University of Duisburg-Essen invites applications for the position of a
Scientific Researcher (f/m/d) (Payment according to Grade E 13 TV-L, 100 %)
at the Faculty of Chemistry, Theoretical Inorganic Chemistry (located at the campus in Essen).
The working group Theoretical Inorganic Chemistry, headed by Prof. Dr. Kai S. Exner, deals with the theoretical description of catalytic processes at electrified solid/liquid interfaces for electrochemical applications. As part of the Collaborative Research Center/ CRC 247 (Heterogeneous oxidation catalysis in the liquid phase), a position is to be filled that models the electrochemical oxidation of alcohols on cobalt oxides and cobalt ferrites in close cooperation with experimental and other theoretical working groups. The scientific researcher can network well within the SFB 247 and uses these synergies to resolve the elementary processes of alcohol oxidation at the atomic level.

Required qualifications:
Above-average university degree in chemistry or physics of at least 8 semesters. A good degree (at least 2.0 according to the German grading system) is expected. Furthermore, you hold a PhD in theoretical chemistry or theoretical physics, ideally specialized in the field of theoretical electrochemistry. You should have excellent knowledge in at least two of the below areas, ideally in several of them:
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations with implicit solvation
Grand canonical approaches to determine adsorption energies
DFT calculations of magnetic solids and surfaces
Usage of the program packages VASP and CP2K
Microkinetic modeling using steady-state approaches
Start of position: January 1, 2022
Contract period: 3.5 years (42 months)
Please submit your application (motivation letter, CV, diplomas, transcript of modules taken with grades, PhD certificate, a letter of recommendation) quoting reference 627-22 to Prof. Dr. Kai Exner, Universität Duisburg- Essen, Fakultät für Chemie, Campus Essen, 45117 Essen. Please compile your application in a single PDF file and send it via email to [email protected].
