A post-doc (1.5 years) position in the
theoretical chemistry group of Leiden University.

Modelling Production of Hydrogen.

A post-doc (1.5 years) position is available
immediately, in the theoretical chemistry group
of Leiden University.

The research will focus on the production of
hydrogen through water splitting, in a tandem
cell set-up involving photoelectrolysis of water.
More specifically, the mechanism of the
photo-oxidation of water on oxidic semi-conductor
surfaces will be studied, using density
functional theory and quantum transition state
theory. The project will involve a collaboration
with the group of Prof. Jens Nørskov at the
Technical University of Denmark.

The project is funded by the EC, being part of a
new Research Training Network (Hydrogen) under
framework 6. The  network has started on 1
September. The project will be supervised by
Geert-Jan Kroes and Roar Olsen.

Recquirements:

Applicants for the post-doc position should have
a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Physics, or Applied
Mathematics, and have experience with
computational methods relevant to the field of
Chemical Physics. According to EC-rules,
candidates for the post-doc position should have
no more than 10 years of research experience,
counting from the day they started their Ph.D.
study. In view of the composition of the network,
the applicant should be a national from a EC
member state, or from an Associated state
(Associated states are: Bulgaria, Romania,
Turkey, Iceland, Israel, Liechtenstein, Norway
and Switzerland).

Appointment:
The initial appointment will be for a period of 1
year but funding is available for an additional
period of 6 months for the post-doc position.

The salary will be according to the Marie-Curie
rules. Employees of Marie-Curie Research training
networks enjoy special privileges such as a
travel allowance, mobility allowance, and career
exploration allowance. More information can be
found in the Marie-Curie Research Training
Networks handbook, available at:

http://ec.europa.eu/research/fp6/mariecurie-actions/action/training_en.html

Applications:
To be considered for the project, applicants
should send an application letter, CV, and
publication list, and should arrange themselves
that three letters of are sent to Prof. Dr.
Geert-Jan Kroes, by email
(g.j.kroes-at-chem.leidenuniv.nl). The deadline for
receiving the material at Leiden is Wednesday 20
December 2006.
