Dear Colleagues,
The time-resolved spectroscopy group and theoretical chemistry group at
IMDEA Nanociencia and University Autonoma Madrid, Spain is currently
looking for a Ph.D student with intention to apply for by the “la Caixa”
fellowship
(https://obrasociallacaixa.org/en/investigacion-y-becas/becas-de-la-caixa/doctorado-inphinit/descripcion-del-programa).
Deadline: 4/02/2020.
The project will consist in studying solar fuel catalysts through static
and ultrafast in-situ X-ray spectroscopy and electrochemistry. The main
objectives of the project will be to probe the electronic and structural
changes occurring near the active catalytic site through time-resolved
X-ray absorption, emission and resonant inelastic scattering
spectroscopy. The student will also be trained in Raman, Electron
Paramagnetic Resonance, and X-ray photoelecron spectroscopy. Quantum
chemistry approaches will be used throughout the project’s duration to
determine the geometries of proposed intermediates based on correlation
of theory to spectroscopic observables. The results of these studies are
expected to have a profound impact on modern catalysis research by
identifying the critical requirements for water splitting reactions.
