Are you interested in electrochemical CO2 conversion and can you contribute to the development of our novel project in bioinspired CO2 conversion? Then the Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering invites you to apply for a 1-year postdoc position.
Expected start date and duration of employment
This is a 1-year position from 01.11.2023 or as soon possible.
Job description
The project focuses on screening and optimizing of the electrochemical properties of novel biomolecule-based catalysts towards CO2 conversion.
The applicant will play a significant role in the establishment of a novel research project. This will involve fundamental development of experimental setups and protocols, as well as meticulous and systematic catalytic screening and structural analysis.
The job will include:
- Establishing setups and protocols for screening of the CO2 reduction properties of biomolecule-based catalysts
- Chemical analysis incl. NMR spectroscopy, gas chromatography, IR-spectroscopy
- Catalyst modifications
- Drafting of scientific publications
Your profile
We are looking for one postdoc, who will be part of an interdisciplinary team. Applicants should hold a PhD in chemical engineering, chemistry, nanoscience or similar.
The applicant should have the following competences:
- Experience with electrocatalysis
- Experience with analytical techniques incl. NMR spectroscopy, gas chromatography, and IR-spectroscopy
- Experience with handling of biomolecules is a strong advantage
- Experience with CO2 conversion is an advantage
- Good written and oral communication skills in English are essential
The applicant will work in the Hybrid Materials Lab under supervision of Assoc. Prof. Nina Lock. The group focuses on the development of hybrid organic-inorganic materials for electro- and photocatalysis, specifically aimed towards CO2 conversion and hydrogen production. The research focuses on three pillars: design and synthesis of novel catalysts, catalytic testing, and correlation of catalyst structure and performance.
The Department offers:
- a well-developed research infrastructure, laboratories and access to shared equipment
- an exciting interdisciplinary environment with many national, international and industrial collaborators
- a research climate encouraging lively, open and critical discussion within and across different fields of research
- a work environment with close working relationships, networking and social activities
- a workplace characterised by professionalism, equality and a healthy work-life balance.
Place of work and area of employment
The place of work is Aabogade 40, DK-8200 Aarhus N, and the area of employment is Aarhus University with related departments.

Deadline
Applications must be received no later than 28-07-2023
Application procedure
Shortlisting is used. This means that after the deadline for applications – and with the assistance from the assessment committee chairman, and the appointment committee if necessary, – the head of department selects the candidates to be evaluated. All applicants will be notified whether or not their applications have been sent to an expert assessment committee for evaluation. The selected applicants will be informed about the composition of the committee, and each applicant is given the opportunity to comment on the part of the assessment that concerns him/her self. Once the recruitment process is completed a final letter of rejection is sent to the deselected applicants.
Letter of reference
If you want a referee to upload a letter of reference on your behalf, please state the referee’s contact information when you submit your application. We strongly recommend that you make an agreement with the person in question before you enter the referee’s contact information, and that you ensure that the referee has enough time to write the letter of reference before the application deadline.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to ensure that letters of reference received after the application deadline will be taken into consideration.
Formalities and salary range
Technical Sciences refers to the Ministerial Order on the Appointment of Academic Staff at Danish Universities under the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation.
The application must be in English and include a curriculum vitae, degree certificate, a complete list of publications, a statement of future research plans and information about research activities, teaching portfolio and verified information on previous teaching experience (if any). Guidelines for applicants can be found here.
Appointment shall be in accordance with the collective labour agreement between the Danish Ministry of Taxation and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. Further information on qualification requirements and job content may be found in the Memorandum on Job Structure for Academic Staff at Danish Universities.
Salary depends on seniority as agreed between the Danish Ministry of Taxation and the Confederation of Professional Associations.
Aarhus University’s ambition is to be an attractive and inspiring workplace for all and to foster a culture in which each individual has opportunities to thrive, achieve and develop. We view equality and diversity as assets, and we welcome all applicants.
Research activities will be evaluated in relation to actual research time. Thus, we encourage applicants to specify periods of leave without research activities, in order to be able to subtract these periods from the span of the scientific career during the evaluation of scientific productivity.
Aarhus University offers a broad variety of services for international researchers and accompanying families, including relocation service and career counselling to expat partners. Read more here. Please find more information about entering and working in Denmark here.
