What will your job be

As a Researcher Electrochemistry you will investigate the electrochemical reduction of CO2 to more valuable molecules, such as CO or hydrocarbons. Because this research is still in an early stage you will need a true R&D mindset and want to be a pioneer in this field. Examples of the current lab capabilities are: Membrane testing, Electrodialysis, co-electrolyzer single cell testing and electrocatalyst testing.
Tasks:

• 
  Synthesize, manufacture, design and characterize electrocatalysts/electrodes/catalyst-electrolyte systems for CO2 electrochemical reduction
  
• Design electrochemical cells and setup
  
• Measure catalyst activity, selectivity and durability
  
• Help to build and develop capabilities for the electrochemical lab
  
• Literature research and the publishing of papers in peer-reviewed journals
  
• Supervision and project planning for experimental researchers
  

What are we looking for

From a Researcher Electrochemistry we ask the following:

• 
  A PhD in electrochemistry is a strong requirement
  
• Proven track record of scientific pulbicaitons in peer-reviewed literature
  
• Preferable background in organic chemistry, materials characterizatio and gas analysis
  
• Fluent English language skills and capable of giving targeted presentations for different audiences
  

What do we offer

• 1 year contract via ChecMmark Labrecruitment with the option of extension and possibly permanent contract at the company
  
• Salary indication between €3500 - €3850,- gross/month based on fulltime
  
• Fulltime position (40 hours), but working 32 hours/week is negotionable

Where will you work

Our international client in Amsterdam is investigating novel ways to convert or separate molecules using renewable energy sources. This position will be located in the electrochemical lab in a team of 20 people.
