Your Tasks
Your work will focus on investigating the mechanisms of electrochemical oxidation processes (EOP) for the removal of emerging contaminants in water via the generation of hydroxyl radicals.
-
Reaction intermediates and products will be analyzed using a range of analytical chemistry techniques.
-
Advanced characterization methods, including synchrotron-based techniques, will be employed to investigate materials under operating conditions and establish design principles for next-generation EOP electrocatalysts.
-
Throughout your postdoc, you will closely collaborate with colleagues within the Electrochemistry Department, the Swiss Light Source, and international partners.
Your Profile
- You hold a PhD degree in Physical Chemistry, Chemical Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, or a closely related discipline.
- You possess a strong background and experience in electrochemistry and water purification through electrochemical oxidation processes.
- Experience with analytical techniques for water purification analysis is essential.
- Knowledge of spectroscopic techniques is advantageous.
- You demonstrate a strong interest in experimental work and take initiative in developing innovative solutions.
- You can work independently while contributing effectively to a collaborative and interdisciplinary research team.
- Excellent communication and scientific writing skills in English are required.
