Qualified students with a recent physics master degree or equivalent and with an interest in atomic-scale characterization of surfaces are invited to send their application for an open PhD fellowship position in surface physics and nanotechnology at the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center (iNANO), Aarhus University, Denmark. The successful candidate will be based at the Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) group at Aarhus University where you will work with surface science characterization of metal oxide and metal-carbide nanoparticles used in industrial catalytic processes using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and other surface science equipment. Additionally, photoemission studies at the ASTRID2 (Aarhus) synchrotrons will be conducted.
Description
Applicants should have a recent masters degree (3-year PhD programme) or 4-years of studies (4-year PhD programme) in physics or nanotechnology with an excellent and documented exam record. Candidates with strong knowledge in solid state/condensed matter physics, UHV-based scanning probe microscopy, surface science or equivalent will be favored. Ideally, the candidate should be available to start from September 2014 or soon after.
