University of Copenhagen
Department of Chemistry invites applicants for two PhD fellowships in Theoretical Catalysis. The projects are rooted in the Theory group which is part of Center for High Entropy Alloy Catalysis (CHEAC) funded by Danish National Research Foundation, and the ERC Synergy project DEMI funded by European Research Counsil Executive Agency.
Start date is 1 February 2027 or shortly hereafter.
The projects
The aim is to understand and discover materials for catalyzing electrochemical reactions.
The first project is focused on catalysis on high entropy alloys and understanding their activity in energy conversion reactions.
The second project is focused on modelling stability of electrocatalyst materials. The aim is to develop a framework to predict metastability of catalyst materials.
Among the methods used will be Density Functional Theory, statistics,
machine-learning and dynamics.
Collaboration with members of other research groups at UCPH and abroad is required.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for candidates within the field(s) of chemistry, physics, nanochemistry, material science or similar. Applicants can have a background from solid state chemistry/physics, chemical engeneering, computational chemistry or similar.
Our group and research - and what do we offer?
In our group we work with theoretical catalysis, which is based on atomic scale simulations and dynamics. In this way we have insight into the structure, reactions and intermediates at an atomic level.
Our Main Research Fields Are
- Electrocatalysis for various reactions: water splitting, CO2 reduction ect.
- Catalytic surfaces of high entropy alloys.
- Atomic scale simulations.
The Theory group consists of around 15 researchers (postdocs, PhD- MSc- and BSc students).
The Theory group is
