Jobbeschreibung
You will focus on systematic investigations of asymmetric chemical on-surface reactions on chiral intermetallic single crystal surfaces - a hitherto scarcely studied field of high scientific and technological interest. The project continues a long-standing research activity of our laboratory to understand the interplay between adsorption sites, local molecular arrangements, enantioselectivity and catalytic reaction mechanisms on these surfaces.
You will work with state-of-the-art surface analytical methods such as photoemission spectroscopy, with a strong emphasis on low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy as well as non-contact atomic force microscopy. The research will be carried out in the framework of an international collaboration bringing together top competencies in the fields of single crystal growth, high-pressure catalysis, solid state physics/chemistry and atomistic simulation.
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a strong experimental background in solid state physics, physical chemistry, surface science or nanoscience who wants to pursue cutting-edge research at world-class level.
The successful candidate will be integrated in the PhD Program of the Physics Department at EPF Lausanne.
Required qualifications include a Master's Degree in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or equivalent. Experience with scanning probe microscopy, photoemission spectroscopy, ultra-high vacuum and programming in Python/LabVIEW/Igor are advantageous but not strictly required. We are looking for a highly motivated, curiosity driven team player with excellent English communication skills.
We look forward to receiving your complete online application including a letter of motivation, CV, certificates, diplomas and contact details of two reference persons. Please submit these exclusively via our job portal. Applications by e-mail and by post will not be considered.
