Postdoc of Theoretical Catalysis

Catalysis is key in the future transition towards renewable chemicals and fuels. The newly established Center for High Entropy Alloy Catalysts (CHEAC) targets electrochemical reactions for the production of renewable and high-value chemicals.

The aim is to understand and discover materials for catalyzing electrochemical reactions. This position is for 2 years within computational chemistry, applying and developing state of the art electronic structure simulations tools and analysis. There will be a close collaboration with the experimental partners in the project.

The postdoc’s duties will include research within theoretical catalysis as well as teaching. The post may also include performance of other duties.
