Nanoscale Electrocatalysis for Chemical and Biological Sensors
As part of a new interdisciplinary research programme jointly between the NanoScience Center at the University of Copenhagen and DTU Chemistry, a Ph.D. position, “Nanoscale Electrocatalysis for Chemical and Biological Sciences”, in DTU Chemistry’s NanoChemistry Group is open.
Electrocatalysis is essential in energy storage/conversion and chemical/biological sensing. Our project aims at designed metallic and non-metallic nanostructures (particles, wires, flowers) as electrocatalysts in molecular and biomolecular electron transfer. Objectives are: 1) New nanoparticle synthesis. 2) Size-dependent single-particle electrocatalysis. 3) Fabrication of chemical sensors and biosensors.
Candidates should have a master’s degree in physics, chemistry or biology and a strong interest in joining an exciting new nanotechnology programme. Interested candidates should submit an application with CV and other relevant information to DTU Chemistry, Bld. 207, DTU, DK-2800 Lyngby by20th February, 2010.
