Postdoctoral Researcher in Electrocatalysis
100%, Zurich, fixed-term
print Drucken
The Electrochemical Energy Systems Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering at ETH Zurich
invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher position focused on Electrocatalysis.
Job description
Our research group explores how complex electrolyte environments influence the reaction kinetics and product
selectivity of the electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) and related electrocatalytic processes. We place a
strong emphasis on mechanistic insights and employ advanced, in‐situ characterization techniques—such as FTIR
spectroscopy, differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS), and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance
(EQCM)—to study reaction pathways. We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to drive these efforts forward.
You will join a collaborative, inclusive, and intellectually stimulating environment that prizes scientific creativity
and curiosity. This is a full-time position, tentatively starting on July 1, 2025 , or later. Applications will be
accepted until the position is filled. For more information about our group, please visit our website.
Profile
We welcome candidates who have hands‐on experience in electrochemical CO2 reduction or closely related
electrocatalytic reactions. Ideal applicants will also bring expertise in one or more of the following areas:
- In situ characterization (e.g. FTIR, Raman, SECM)
- Online product analysis (e.g., HPLC, GC, DEMS)
- Single crystals
- Automation
We are looking for highly motivated researchers with a passion for contributing to solutions in the global energy
landscape. If you excel in collaborative environments and can bring expertise in any of the areas above, we strongly
encourage you to apply.
Qualifications
- PhD in Physical Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Material Science, or a related field
- Excellent written and spoken English
- Self-driven, highly motivated, with strong teamwork skills

application date (e.g., 20250206_SmithJT_application), in the following order:
- Cover Letter describing your research achievements and interests
- Detailed CV
- Three Representative Research Works (peer-reviewed or preprints)
- Names and Contact Information of at Least Three References
- PhD degree confirmation, if available (in English) or official Transcripts of All Degrees
Please apply exclusively via the online application portal . Applications submitted by email or post will not be
considered.
