Advanced Simulations of Zeolite Catalytic processes combined with coherent X-ray diffraction imaging methods.


We are announcing a FAPESP postdoctoral position for the development of the project titled: “Advanced Simulations of Zeolite Catalytic processes, combined with synchrotron coherent X-ray diffraction imaging methods,” scheduled to begin in the second half of 2025. The candidate will be responsible for the simulations with MD and DFT of zeolite catalytic processes, and will participate with the research group, to synchrotron coherent diffractive imaging experiments. This position is part of the funded FAPESP Project “Imaging working catalysts/ Catalytic correlations in nanoporous materials” (FAPESP 2021/06876-1).

Candidates must hold a PhD in Chemistry, Physics, or related fields, with experience in simulation methods such as Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Molecular Dynamics (MD), and, optionally, in X-ray scattering or diffraction.

For more information and to apply, please submit a cover letter, CV and a letter of recommendation to Dr Florian Meneau (florian.meneau@lnls.br) with in subject line: FAPESP Postdoctoral application. 

The vacancy is open to candidates of any nationality. The selected candidate will receive a Post-Doctoral Scholarship from the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) in the amount of R$ 12000 per month, and a Research Contingency Fund, equivalent to 10% of the annual value of the scholarship to cover expenses directly related to the research activity.
