挪威科技大学生物纳米材料研究博士后岗位

Institution

Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) (http://www.ntnu.no)

Position

Post doctoral fellowship in nanomaterials science 

Location

Trondheim, Norway

Date Posted

Sep 26 2007

Description

The position is related to catalytic and electrocatalytic processes critical to many advanced energy conversion systems, such as fuel cells and processes for the production of hydrogen from bio- and fossil sources. The project is a collaborative effort between NTNU (deposition of catalysts on carbon-nanofibres and electrochemical characterisation) and University of Maryland (methods for the production of bimetallic catalysts).

Depending on qualifications and preferences, the holder of the postdoctoral fellowship may choose to work primarily in either

- production of catalyst supports based on carbon nanofibres, deposition of catalysts onto the support, and characterisation of the supported catalysts, or

- studies of electrocatalytic processes for applications in fuel cells, including fundamental electrochemical and materials characterisation of catalysts for electrochemical combustion (oxidation) of small organic molecules

Applicants for the position are expected to hold a PhD in a research area relevant for the position. In particular are candiates with a background in electrochemistry, catalysis, or materials science encouraged to apply. Experience in synthesis, especially of nanomaterials, will be considered an advantage.

The primary workplace will be Department of Chemical Engineering, NTNU, Trondheim, Norway. The position may imply short term research stays at University of Maryland, USA.
