PhD Position in CO2 and CO Electrolysis on Copper Electrocatalysts

A PhD position is available in the field of CO2 and CO conversion on copper electrocatalysts, focusing on understanding and manipulating copper restructuring during electrolysis to create stable architectures. The research will employ experimental approaches at macro, micro, and nanoscales, making it suitable for candidates with backgrounds in chemistry, chemical engineering, or physics. The successful candidate will join a vibrant research group of 6-9 PhDs and postdocs, benefit from personalized mentorship, and have access to state-of-the-art infrastructure at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). The project is funded by a NWO (Dutch Research Council) Vidi grant and is based in Delft, The Netherlands, a city known for its high quality of life and proximity to major cities and international airports. The research environment is collaborative and dynamic, offering opportunities to work with excellent researchers in the field of electrochemical catalysis and materials science. The position is ideal for those interested in catalysis, nanoscience, and experimental chemistry, with a focus on sustainable technologies for CO2 and CO conversion. Applicants should have a relevant background in engineering, chemistry, or physics, and experience with experimental techniques at various scales is desirable. No specific GPA or language requirements are mentioned. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply via the TU Delft careers portal, following the instructions provided in the official job posting.
