København Ø

Department of Chemistry invites applicants for two PhD fellowships in theoretical catalysis. The projects are rooted in the Theory group which is part of Center for High Entropy Alloy Catalysis (CHEAC) funded by Danish National Research Foundation, and the ERC Synergy project DEMI funded by European Research Counsil Executive Agency.

Start date is 1 June 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The projects
The aim is to understand and discover materials for catalyzing electrochemical reactions.
The first positions is focused on catalysis on high entropy alloys and understanding their activity in energy conversion reactions.
The second position is focused on modelling stability of electrocatalyst materials. The aim is to develop a framework to predict metastability of catalyst materials.
Among the methods used will be Density Functional Theory, statistics, machine-learning and dynamics.
Collaboration with members of other research groups at UCPH and abroad is required.

Who are we looking for?
We are looking for candidates within the field(s) of chemistry, physics, nanochemistry, material science or similar. Applicants can have a background from solid state chemistry/physics, chemical egeneering, computational chemistry or similar.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?
In our group we work with theoretical catalysis, which is based on atomic scale simulations and dynamics. In this way we have insight into the structure, reactions and intermediates at an atomic level.

Our main research fields are:
Electrocatalysis for various reactions: water splitting, CO2 reduction ect.
Catalytic surfaces of high entropy alloys.
The Theory group consists of around 20 researchers (post dcos, PhD- MSc- and BSc students).

The Theory group is a part of Department of Chemistry, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. We are located in Copenhagen.

We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in a dynamic and international research environment.
