PhD position in CO2 reduction

The aim of this project is to advance the fundamental understanding of interfacial effects and optimized hybrid semiconductor-catalyst combinations towards selective and efficient solar energy-initiated conversion of CO2 into valuable products.


Candidates holding a Master’s degree in chemistry are preferred, however, those with a background in physics, material science, and chemical engineering are all welcome. Previous experience with electrochemistry is a definite plus. The candidate must demonstrate proficiency in oral and written English and must be enthusiastic, creative, and self-motivated.


We look forward to receiving your online application including a letter of motivation, a brief statement of research interests, copies of Bachelor’s and Master’s degree transcripts, a CV, and the names and contact information of academic referees. The applications must be submitted via the online portal of GSSE.
