Two positions of Scientists for Computational and Theoretical Catalysis avaliable in SUPCON, Hangzhou, China.

1. The work will focus on the research of theoretical catalysis using DFT calculations, which includes the investigation of electronic structure, catalytic reaction, tansition-state calculation, microkinetic calcualtion, and catalyst design.
2. We will focus on the issues in real chemical industry, e.g. the prediction of life-time for catalysts in real-time, to provide solutions based on DFT calculations.
3. The development of software for catalyst design based on the knowledge of theoretical catalysis, including scaling/BEP relations, microkientic modelling ... The work will be conducted based on a cooperation with our IT groups.

Qualifications:

1. Master or PhD degrees were awarded in the field of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or Physics.
2. Chinese nationality in principle or good communication skills in mandarin.
3. Experience in DFT calculations and theoretical catalysis.
4. The position offers a salary of around ￥180,000 to ￥350,000 CNY/year with additional financial support by Chinese government depended on the qualification of potential candidates.

Applicaiton:

1. Applications should consist of a current CV with a publication list.
