At the Electrocatalysis department of Prof. Karl Mayrhofer, we offer a PhD position within the team Nanoanalysis of Electrochemical Processes. Lead by Dr. Andreas Hutzler, the team is investigating degradation mechanisms within the framework of green energy conversion and climate change. The open position aims to understand catalyst stability at the nanoscale during electrochemical processes via operando liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy (LP-TEM). Your tasks:
- Self-motivated and independent planning, execution, and analysis of research in the scope of operando electrocatalysis using LP-TEM
- Execution of TEM analyses as part of our TEM facility at HI ERN
- Presentation of scientific results at national and international conferences as well as publication in peer-reviewed journals
