Description: We have an immediate postdoctoral opening for an outstanding individual to work with Drs. Anders Nilsson (SUNCAT, SLAC) and Hirohito Ogasawara (SSRL, SLAC) in the area of catalytic processes on surfaces related to hydrogen fuels. This research aims to understand the relationship between chemisorption geometry and chemisorption bond orbital characteristics for structurally well-defined catalyst surfaces using SLAC light sources (SSRL and LCLS). Elements of the research include, surface preparation, and characterization using state-of-the-art soft x-ray emission spectroscopy and synchrotron based photoemission measurements on a new system. The position is also linked to the development, testing and research using a new in-situ soft x-ray emission spectroscopy cell. The successful candidate will have a recent Ph.D. in UHV surface chemistry or physics, with synchrotron radiation experience being highly desirable. Some of this will include collaborative studies with investigator s at universities and national labs. The successful candidate will be employed by Stanford University, but will reside at SLAC.
The position is available immediately. The Postdoctoral Scholar position carries an initial one-year term, renewable to a maximum of three years, with competitive salary and benefits.
