波鸿鲁尔大学全职博士位置
波鸿鲁尔大学（德语：Ruhr-Universität Bochum；RUB）位于德国波鸿，建立于1962年，也是在新成立的联邦德国时期成立的第一所大学。大学选址在波鸿市区以外的绿色草原地区Querenburg，形成了一个独立校区。整个校园由几个靠近的相对独立的建筑构成。
波鸿鲁尔大学自成立以来一直是一所改革型大学。它在德国发挥了开创性作用，根据博洛尼亚宣言的要求引入了分级课程。由于其规模，RUB是德国大学中学科种类最多的大学之一。波鸿鲁尔大学在德国特别研究领域DFG的排名评选中排名第二，也是德国最重要的研究基金组织德国科学基金会 （Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft）的一部分。
该职位由Atomic-Scale Characterization研究组提供，Prof. Dr. TongLi 在牛津大学获得博士学位后先后在澳大利亚，德国进行博士后研究，近年来， 先后在Science，Nature Communications，Nature Catalysis，Angewandte Chemie，Acta Materialia等学术期刊发表50余篇文章，组内主要研究方向为利用原子探针断层扫描 (APT) 结合电子显微镜（SEM，TEM）和基于 X 射线的光谱学来揭示催化反应过程中（电）催化剂的表面变化，从而为（电）催化剂的活化和失活提供机理见解。
PhD student (m,f,x) on Co-catalyst
The group of Atomic-scale Characterization in the Institute for Materials (at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering) is offering a PhD position for the sub-project ‘Exploring the role of defects on the active site evolution in Co-based spinels and hydrous oxides under OER conditions by correlative microscopy’ in the framework of the collaborative research project, SFB/TRR 247 ‘Heterogeneous Oxidation Catalysis in the Liquid Phase’ between Ruhr University Bochum, University of Duisburg-Essen, MPI for Chemical Energy Conversion, Kiel University, Fritz Haber Institute.
Your Mission:
The focus of the PhD project is to develop a correlative approach that can link the oxidation state, surface morphology and chemical compositions of Co-based spinels and hydrous oxides with their local activity toward oxygen evolution reaction. The new multimodal method will enable the correlation of scanning electrochemical cell microscopy (SECCM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and atom probe tomography (APT) measurements on the same local features that are pre-identified by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The PhD candidate will be responsible for the SEM, APT and XPS characterization, and she/he will cooperate closely with another PhD student working on SECCM and AFM analysis in the group of Analytical Chemistry II at the Faculty of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
What we offer:
The Ruhr-Universität Bochum is one of the leading research universities. The university draws its strengths from the diversity and the proximity of scientific and engineering disciplines on a single, coherent campus. This highly dynamic setting enables students and researchers to work across traditional boundaries of academic subjects and faculties. The successful candidate will be working in the new research centre for interface-dominated high-performance materials (ZGH) at Ruhr University Bochum, which houses a large and comprehensive suite of equipment dedicated to nanostructure analysis; the centre is among the best facilities of its kind in the world. She or he will have access to a world-class set of laboratories and more than 10 major microscopy platforms, including the state-of-the-art atom probe, aberration-corrected TEM, focused ion beam etc. The successful PhD candidate will be integrated into the SFB/TRR 247 research school (UnoCat), which provides a supporting infrastructure of soft skills training and international/national scientific workshops.
The candidate must have:
•an excellent master's degree in electrochemistry, materials science, or inorganic chemistry
•can independently conduct potentiostat measurements, including cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, chronopotentiometry, chronoamperometry etc
•a high level of spoken and written English
•self-motivated and eager to learn
•proven ability to plan, organize and achieve work targets, sometimes in demanding circumstances
•can work both independently and as part of an interdisciplinary team
The candidate may have:
•experiences in analyzing X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data
•experiences in operating scanning electron microscopy
•experiences in working on a project about Co-based spinel oxides for oxygen evolution reaction
Please send your complete and informative application documents (informative cover letter, CV with certificates) as one pdf document by e-mail to: Prof. Dr. Tong Li, email: atomicjobs-mb@ruhr-uni-bochum.de
Application deadline: 28 Feb 2023, 23:59 pm (CET)
If the position is funded by third-party funds the employee has no teaching obligation. Travel expenses for interviews cannot be refunded. At Ruhr-Universität Bochum, we wish to promote careers of women in areas in which they have been underrepresented, and we would therefore like to encourage female candidates to send us their applications. Applications by suitable candidates with severe disabilities and other applicants with equal legal status are likewise most welcome.
