The main goal of this project is to build a new understanding of how the structure of catalytic surfaces controls their reactivity and, in particular, how structural changes caused by the presence of reactive gases alter catalyst properties. We will achieve this understanding using a new experimental technique developed in the group, near-ambient pressure velocity map imaging, which combines molecular beams, laser spectroscopy and ion imaging to study the kinetics and dynamics of surface reactions at elevated pressures. The results of these experiments can help develop new catalysts and provide benchmark data to test theory.
The project lies on the borders between physical chemistry, experimental physics, and chemical engineering, and could suit a student with any of these backgrounds. The experimental research work will be carried out mainly in the Dept. of Chemical Engineering at KTH. A typical day could involve planning and carrying out experiments in the lab, analysing data, or preparing results for publication. There will also be opportunities to take part in experiments at synchrotron light sources, e.g. MAX-IV in Lund or BESSY, Berlin, and to further develop collaborations with other experimental and theory groups.
This recruitment is connected to the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE, wise-materials.org). WISE, funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, is the largest-ever investment in materials science in Sweden and will encompass major efforts at Sweden’s foremost universities over the course of 10 years. The vision is a sustainable future through materials science.
A postgraduate education at an institution that is active and supportive in matters pertaining to working conditions, gender equality and diversity as well as study environment.
Work and study in Stockholm, close to nature and the water.
To be admitted to postgraduate education (Chapter 7, 39 § Swedish Higher Education Ordinance), the applicant must have basic eligibility in accordance with either of the following:
passed a second cycle degree (for example a master's degree), or
completed course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 second-cycle higher education credits, or
acquired, in some other way within or outside the country, substantially equivalent knowledge
In order to succeed as a doctoral student at KTH you need to be goal oriented and persevering in your work. During the selection process, candidates will be assessed upon their ability to:
independently pursue his or her work
collaborate with others,

Interest and experience in some of the following areas is desirable and advantageous: Reaction kinetics and dynamics, Ultrahigh vacuum techniques, Laser spectroscopy, Mass spectrometry, Instrument development.
After the qualification requirements, great emphasis will be placed on personal skills.
Target degree: Doctoral degree
Information regarding admission and employment
Only those admitted to postgraduate education may be employed as a doctoral student. The total length of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education in four years ' time. An employed doctoral student can, to a limited extent (maximum 20%), perform certain tasks within their role, e.g. training and administration. A new position as a doctoral student is for a maximum of one year, and then the employment may be renewed for a maximum of two years at a time. In the case of studies that are to be completed with a licentiate degree, the total period of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education for two years.
Apply for the position and admission through KTH's recruitment system. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that the application is complete in accordance with the instructions in the advertisement.
Applications must be received at the last closing date at midnight, CET/CEST (Central European Time/Central European Summer Time).
