Additional Information

Work assignments The project focuses on electrocatalysis and electrolyzer system optimization for sustainable energy and chemical conversion. The research will involve reactions such as CO₂ conversion, water splitting, biomass-derived molecule upgrading, and other small-molecule transformations, with the aim of developing efficient, selective, and stable catalytic systems. You will take a leading role in developing research activities that connect catalyst design, operando spectroscopic characterization, reaction mechanism investigation, and device-level performance optimization. The work may include catalyst synthesis, electrochemical testing, product analysis, operando spectroscopy, mechanistic studies, and optimization of electrolyzer configurations. You are expected to conduct independent and collaborative research, publish in peer-reviewed journals, present results at international conferences, contribute to collaborations, and participate in the supervision of junior researchers. You may also contribute to the development of new experimental platforms and research directions within the group. As postdoc, you will principally carry out research. A certain amount of teaching may be part of your duties, up to a maximum of 20% of working hours.
