Overview
The research project aims at using the recently developed understanding of the mechanistic aspects of the direct NOx decomposition to design new alloy catalysts for this reaction. The main focus will be on optimizing the activity as well as the selectivity of the reaction towards the formation of N2 and analyzing the stability of the proposed inter-metallic alloy catalysts.
Qualifications:
The successful applicant should hold a PhD in theoretical physics or quantum chemistry and have extensive knowledge on electronic structure simulations of atomic-scale systems. Working knowledge of density functional theory, programming experience, reactivity trend studies, and experience with the NO decomposition reaction, and the computational screening of stabilities of inter-metallic alloys is preferable.
Salary and appointment terms
The position is for 7 months beginning as soon as possible. The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed with the relevant union.
Further information
