The Electrochemical Surface Science group at Lancaster University is looking to employ a research associate at the postdoctoral level for a period of 12 months on a full-time basis. You will be in charge of developing electrochemical non-contact atomic force microscopy (EC-NC-AFM) and improving the performance of an existing electrochemical scanning tunnelling microscope (EC-STM).
Key aspects of the work will be to directly image adsorption, self-organisation and reactivity of reactive species on various 2-dimensional materials, including hexagonal boron nitride. The project is a collaboration with KU Leuven (Belgium) and is funded by the Austrian Fund of Scientific Research (FWF) and the Fund Scientific Research–Flanders (FWO).
You should hold a PhD in Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, or a related discipline. We expect high-level experience with scanning probe techniques and with handling 2-dimensional materials, reflected by a strong publication record, previous research mobility and contributions at scientific conferences.
Surrounded by three national parks and the Irish Sea, Lancaster is a great place to work and live. We are committed to family-friendly and flexible working policies on an individual basis, as well as the Athena SWAN Charter, which recognises and celebrates good employment practice undertaken to address equality issues in higher education and research. We warmly welcome applications from people in all diversity groups.
Informal enquiries to Dr Stijn Mertens, head of the Electrochemical Surface Science group (s.mertens@lancaster.ac.uk).
We particularly welcome applications from women and black and minority ethnic people for this role in order to increase our staff diversity in this part of the University.
