Do you want to contribute to the development of advanced techniques for understanding the atomic-scale properties of catalytic surfaces? If so, join us at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) to investigate the fundamental chemical and physical characteristics of catalyst surfaces using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and near ambient pressure X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (NAP-XPS). Our research aims to uncover how these properties influence catalytic performance.
The PECAS Lab, located at the Faculty of Chemistry on the UPV/EHU campus in San Sebastián, Basque Country, Spain, seeks for a motivated and talented PhD researcher. This position is part of the ERC Starting Grant (ERC-StG) project «Controlling Oxygen Selectivity at the Atomic Scale» (ERC-2021-StG, COSAS, 101040193, COSAS). The project aims to establish a direct correlation between quasi-in situ surface characterization and the atomic-scale structural and electronic properties of catalysts, with an emphasis on improving reaction selectivity in water electrolysis.

Position Details:
  • Duration: 3 years, with the possibility of extension for a 4th year
  • Start Date: Summer 2025
  • Location: Faculty of Chemistry, UPV/EHU, San Sebastián, Basque Country, Spain
Deadline: March 20th, 2025
