PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Microscopy in Germany

The PhD project is based at the Erlangen Center for Interface Research and Catalysis (ECRC) at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and is hosted in the group of Prof. Jörg Libuda. The research explores catalytic processes on real and model catalyst systems with a strong focus on understanding how modifiers, additives, and activation procedures influence highly selective (de)functionalization reactions. The core of the work is an experimental investigation of catalytic functio...
