We need a Senior Researcher within the field of inorganic chemistry to strengthen our research and education within material science and heterogeneous catalysis. The Senior Researcher will have a special obligation at the department in structuring and coordinating the continuous work with occupational health and safety.
You will play a key role in:
- The synthesis, characterization and catalytic tests of novel nanostructured materials with high surface area, ordered porosity and supported active metal sites.
- The research in heterogeneous catalysts that can facilitate the production of energy, fuels and chemicals and mitigate the emission of harmful greenhouse gases.
- The development of advanced operando tools to identify active sites and understand reaction mechanisms to guide the design of more efficient catalysts for C1 chemistry, such as CO2 and CH4 conversion.
- Innovation and collaboration with international and industrial research partners.
- The education of chemical engineers at DTU.
- The occupational health and safety organization.
Your track record proves your strong research background, your international experience, and your ability to attract external funding. Competence within occupational health and safety is also a requirement.
You will get a rewarding and challenging job in an international research environment. The position offers academic freedom in an ambitious department with recognized academic excellence, innovation, and education within advanced and applied chemistry.
We are among the internationally leading departments of chemistry within several topics under the main areas: physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and organic chemistry. We are responsible for research-based teaching at the BSc, MSc, as well as PhD level. We actively support career paths through talent management, and we culture internal collaboration between scientists and scientific disciplines. The department has 150 employees.
You are expected to participate in teaching at the BEng, BSc, MSc, and PhD levels. You will be expected to learn Danish and be able to teach in Danish after 3 years. DTU can provide Danish language courses.
