A PhD candidate in experimental surface science for characterising surfaces decorated with soft-landed few-atom metal clusters interacting with simple molecules using ultrafast laser spectroscopy. You will develop novel experiments based on Sum-Frequency Generation (SFG), combining the FELIX free-electron laser with table-top femtosecond laser sources. You will benchmark the technique using idealised model systems, and will continue to study CO2 adsorption on deposited clusters employing samples produced in our European partner laboratories. The results will contribute to a fundamental understanding of surface reactions relevant to the catalytic CO2 hydrogenation.
The position involves three periods of 1-2 months of mobility (secondments at our EU partners).
Candidates must be, at the time of recruitment by the host organisation, in the first four years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers and have not yet been awarded a doctoral degree. This is measured from the date when they obtained the Master's degree which would formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate within Catchy.
Please note that the EU Mobility Rule will be applied: PhD candidates must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the Netherlands for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before the recruitment date. Compulsory national service, short stays such as holidays, and time spent as part of a procedure for obtaining refugee status under the Geneva Convention, are not taken into account.
Fixed-term contract: you will be appointed for an initial period of 18 months, after which your performance will be evaluated. If the evaluation is positive, the contract will be extended by 2.5 years (4 year contract).
We want to get the best out of science, others and ourselves. Why? Because this is what the world around us desperately needs. Leading research and education make an indispensable contribution to a healthy, free world with equal opportunities for all. This is what unites the more than 22,000 students and 5,000 employees at Radboud University. And this requires even more talent, collaboration and lifelong learning. You have a part to play!
