The postdoctoral researcher will work in the field of experimental research in the field of solid state physics on the project "New catalytic materials for the production of green hydrogen". The work of the postdoc researcher will be focused on the application of the photoemission spectroscopy (PES) technique in the research of high-entropy alloys (HEA), multi-component approximately equiatomic alloys, which show good catalytic properties.

At the Institute of Physics, Zagreb, PES is an established technique to research the electronic structure of materials. In recent years, PES has also been used in the determination of the electronic structure of transition metals HEA. Research activities will take place in the Center for Advanced Laser Techniques of the Institute of Physics in the Ultrafast Spectroscopy Group. The group cooperates with various national and international research institutions.

The ideal candidate should have knowledge and experience in at least one of the following areas:

experimental surface science techniques

photoemission spectroscopy (any type)

electronic band structure of solids

ultrahigh vacuum techniques

Additionally, the candidate is expected to be highly motivated to work in the laboratory on the described topic and to have an excellent knowledge of the English language.

Preference will be given to candidates who have demonstrated excellence and independence in previous research work (recognitions, awards, scholarships, published works, presentations at conferences).

Mandatory requirement: completed PhD in the field of physics or chemistry.

The Institute of Physics reserves the right not to proceed with the employment of the selected candidate if, during the hiring process, business needs change or if the project for which the position is intended does not receive approval for an extension of the project implementation period and the eligibility period for costs.

The following must be attached to the tender application: 1. evidence of meeting the mandatory requirements 2. evidence of professional training, schooling and education (diploma) 3. letter of motivation with a brief description of scientific interests and plans 4. CV with a list of published scientific works indicating the candidate's strengths and experience 5. contact information of at least two scientists from whom a recommendation can be requested.
