Position as PhD Research Fellow in Chemistry with focus on Experiments in Chemical Kinetics and Heterogeneous Catalysis is available at the Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology (SMN).
Starting date no later than 01.01.2026 or as soon as possible.
The fellowship period is three years.
A fourth year may be considered and it will involve 25 % of other career-promoting work. Other career-promoting work may consist of teaching, supervi-sion, and/or research assistance. This is dependent upon the qualification of the applicant and the current needs of the Department of Chemistry.
No one can be appointed for more than one PhD Research Fellowship period at the University of Oslo.
Place of work is Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology (SMN) at Blindern, Oslo.
The transition from a fossil-based to a circular production of consumer goods requires the development of new chemical processes, especially for the energy-efficient and sustainable conversion of carbon-containing biomass, biogas, and CO2 into higher value products.
In this position, the candidate will contribute to the research project “ZeoCAT: Zeotype-based Catalysts to produce consumables and fuels from recycled CO2 feedstock” funded by the Research Council of Norway. The project aims to advance fundamental insight into the structure-composition-function correlations that govern the performance of heterogeneous catalysts in reactions relevant to the Cyclic Carbon Economy: CO2 hydrogenation with green hydrogen into commodity chemicals and long-term energy storage molecules. The project is focused on tandem catalysts containing active sites for both, the conversion of CO2 into C1-C2 intermediates like methanol and their subsequent coupling into larger hydrocarbon molecules.
The candidate will conduct catalytic experiments using advanced transient methods based on mass-spectrometry and develop mathematical models to interpret these data in terms of molecular mechanisms. International collaborations and experiments at synchrotron facilities will be integral part of the project.
The Section of Catalysis and Organic Chemistry, in general, studies the correlation between catalyst composition/structure and their effects on chemical reactions. The section has approximately 35 members, subdivided into several groups, depending on the type of catalytic systems under study, various aspects of the subject (e.g. synthesis, characterization, or reaction studies) and/or methodology (e.g. experiments vs. theory). This position will be closely integrated with researchers and engineers who develop, support, and/or execute experiments in catalytic reactors and spectroscopic cells.
The Section for Catalysis and Organic Chemistry is part of the Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology (SMN) - an interdisciplinary collaboration between five research fields in physics and chemistry, which spearheads the MN Faculty's efforts for sustainable energy solutions. The Centre comprises UiO’s focus on renewable energy, materials science, and nanotechnology.
The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences has a strategic ambition to be among Europe’s leading communities for research, education and innovation. Candidates for these fellowships will be selected in accordance with this, and expected to be in the upper segment of their class with respect to academic credentials.

All candidates and projects will have to undergo a check versus national export, sanctions and security regulations. Candidates may be excluded based on these checks. Primary checkpoints are the Export Control regulation, the Sanctions regulation, and the national security regulation.
Personal skills:
Employment in the position is based on a comprehensive assessment of all qualification requirements applicable to the position, including personal qualifications.
Inclusion and diversity are a strength. The University of Oslo has a personnel policy objective of achieving a balanced gender composition. Furthermore, we want employees with diverse professional expertise, life experience and perspectives.
If there are qualified applicants with disabilities, employment gaps or immigrant background, we will invite at least one applicant from each of these categories to an interview.
We hope that you will apply for the position.
