Postdoc position in Developing Electron Microscopy of Electrochemical Processes in Liquids

jobbeskrivelse:
DTU Nanotech at the Technical University of Denmark invites applications for a position as postdoc in Developing Electron Microscopy of Electrochemical Processes in Liquids. Electron microscopic imaging of physical and chemical processes in liquids with atomic scale resolution has become possible in the last couple of years by using special microchip based systems that can contain the liquid sample behind ultra-thin electron transparent membranes. The aim of this project is to develop new nanoscale imaging systems based on microfluidic chips, including electrically contacted electrodes in the chip systems, to enable electron microscopy of electrochemical processes in liquids. In this project you will be developing such microfabricated devices that will make it possible to observe a range of electrochemical processes in new ways using both scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The project will involve development and microfabrication of chip systems in our 1300 m2 state of art clean room facility Danchip; imaging in our electron microscopy facility CEN, using SEM and TEM to observe and characterize fundamental electrochemical processes. The work will be in close collaboration with microscopists, electrochemists and industrial partners in the project. Responsibilities and tasks The Post Doc project will involve: •Electron microscopy at DTU advanced microscopy facility CEN •The development of microchip systems in our cleanroom •Performing experiments and detailed analysis of the chemical and physical processes in collaboration with the project partners. •Participate in supervision of students and close collaboration with PhD students in the group. Qualifications Candidates should have a PhD degree in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the PhD degree in engineering. A background in chemistry and/or physics and experience with one or more of the involved methods will be beneficial, such as: •TEM methods such as STEM, EELS, EDX and holography •Electrochemical measurements •Cleanroom fabrication Assessment The assessment of the applicants will be made by Kristian Mølhave, Head of the Molecular Windows group at DTU Nanotech, Jakob Wagner Professor at the Center for Electron Nanoscopy and Ole Hansen, Professor at DTU Nanotech. We offer We offer an interesting and challenging job in an international environment focusing on education, research, public-sector consultancy and innovation, which contribute to enhancing the economy and improving social welfare. We strive for academic excellence, collegial respect and freedom tempered by responsibility. The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is a leading technical university in northern Europe and benchmarks with the best universities in the world. Salary and terms of employment The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed with the relevant union. The employment until 28 February 2018, starting as soon as possible. Further information Further information may be obtained from Kristian Mølhave, Head of the Molecular Windows group at DTU Nanotech on Kristian.molhave (at) nanotech.dtu.dk or tel.: +45 2512 6672. The project is financed by the FTP Sapere Aude project LiquidEM. You can read more about the Molecular Windows group on http://www.nanotech.dtu.dk/mowin.
