Novel heterogeneous catalysts for the conversion of methane

The Leibniz Institute for Catalysis (LIKAT) is the largest research institution in the field of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis in Germany. LIKAT offers a PhD-student position for a period of 3 years with the topic “Novel heterogeneous catalysts for the conversion of methane”.

The planned work comprises:
-syntheses and characterization of inorganic solids
-development of new synthesis strategies for advanced catalysts
-testing of catalysts

A diploma degree in chemistry or an international equivalent is required. The candidate should have experiences in inorganic synthesis techniques and characterization of inorganic materials. Experiences in the field of catalysis and/or chemical engineering are desirable. Solid knowledge in computing, interpretation of data and its presentation is necessary.

Compensation is comparable to 50 % TV-L/ MV.
