Postdoc position for the development of metal oxide catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction

ETH Zürich is well known for its excellent education, ground-breaking fundamental research and for implementing its results directly into practice.

About the Position

The Laboratory of Energy Science and Engineering (LESE) headed by Prof. Müller (ETH Zürich, Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering) is looking for a highly motivated candidate with a strong interest in material development and characterization for electrocatalytic applications. LESE is focusing on the development, characterization, and advancement of (solid) CO2 sorbents and catalysts.

In this project, we aim to develop a new class of active, yet inexpensive catalysts based on first-row transition metals for the alkaline oxygen evolution reaction. In addition to making fundamental advances in material design, the electrocatalysts developed in this project will be integrated into an electrolysis setup, where their competitiveness with state-of-the-art catalysts will be critically assessed from both performance and economic perspectives. This research activity is funded by the Swiss Office of Energy.

Profile

Applicants for the position are expected to have a PhD in Chemistry, Material Science, or Chemical Engineering. Experience in the fields of material synthesis as well as the physical and electrochemical characterization of inorganic materials is expected. We are looking for motivated, committed, creative individuals able to work in a team and with excellent communication skills. The position is available from April 2025 onwards.

We Offer
  • Your career with impact: Become part of ETH Zurich, which not only supports your professional development but also actively contributes to positive change in society.

Working in a top-level research environment with advanced laboratory infrastructure, the candidate will have a unique opportunity to develop their research abilities.

In line with our values, ETH Zurich encourages an inclusive culture. We promote equality of opportunity, value diversity, and nurture a working and learning environment in which the rights and dignity of all our staff and students are respected.
