This is about our lives and natural resources, about energy, materials recycling and materials development. With our focus on sustainable development we work with research and education of the highest quality for smarter materials and smarter processes, for improved health and a better environment.

We have approximately 300 employees, divided into four research divisions and one administrative unit. We are situated at campus Johanneberg.

Our department is characterized by inspiring world-leading research, in an environment of personal development and creation of new knowledge.

Information about the division

The post-doc position will be located at the Chemical Engineering division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. The Division of Chemical Engineering includes the following groups Chemical Engineering Design, Chemical Reaction Engineering, Forest Products and Chemical Engineering, and, Chemical Environmental Science. We have a wide range of experience and work both experimentally and with modeling. We have a long tradition of working with both fundamental scientific questions and applied problems together with industry. This position is within the group for Chemical Reaction Engineering. In addition, the position is within the Competence Centre for Catalysis (KCK). KCK, is a research centre focused on heterogeneous catalysis at Chalmers. The goal of the centre is the development of catalytic technology for sustainable transport, energy and environmental systems. Chemical Engineering and KCK at Chalmers strive to provide an excellent environment for carrying out catalysis research with opportunities for collaboration with researchers in related projects or with industry partners.

Major responsibilities

Information about the project:

This project is focusing on heterogeneous catalysis for cleaning emissions from vehicles and will be in collaboration with industry. The research will involve a combination of different experimental techniques regarding catalyst synthesis, catalyst characterization, as well as activity experiments. The activity and selectivity of the catalysts will be measured with flow reactors equipped with FTIR and MS. In addition, the catalysts will be characterized by many experimental techniques, like BET, XRD, TPR, ICP, solid state NMR and UV-vis. Moreover, the surface species will be detected with in-situ DRIFT spectroscopy. The overall goal is to understand the details regarding the surface mechanisms of the studied catalysts. The position will involve reporting current research results in both written and oral form as well as authoring scientific research publications.  

Position summary

Full-time temporary position. The position is limited to a maximum of two years (1+1).

Qualifications

To qualify for the position of postdoc, you must have a doctoral degree in Catalysis; the degree should generally not be older than two years. 

The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English. 

Chalmers continuously strives to be an attractive employer. Equality and diversity are substantial foundations in all activities at Chalmers.

Application procedure

The application should be marked with Ref 20160103 and written in English. The application should be sent electronically via Chalmers webpage.

Application deadline: 13 april, 2016
