The network comprises 10 companies on 8 locations. The companies are divided into three business clusters, headed by a management team for NL comprised of the managers of the clusters, the regional business line leader supported by a commercial director, an IT director and a Finance director. Sales approximates Euro 80+m and the scope employs >550 FTE. The Finance director is the “right-hand” to the regional business line leader, not only in financial topics, but also with regards to the strategic agenda in the cluster (organizational development, M&A etc.). He or she leads two teams: Business Control (5 FTE) and Credit Control (5 FTE). Together these teams support the business and enable optimal financial performance. The teams are headed by experienced colleagues with a long tenure in the company but also contain young talents that recently joined. You report to the regional business line leader. Your office location differs every day: you can work from all locations and occasionally from home as well, just as your agenda determines it. The role necessitates for you to travel frequently between the different locations (mostly Heerenveen, Deventer, Almere, Barendrecht and Zeeuws-Vlaanderen).

Are you interested in astrochemistry and grain surface reactions? Within the Center for Interstellar Catalysis at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Aarhus University, we have an exciting postdoc opening within these research topics in the group of Assoc. Prof. Mie Andersen. The project is co-supervised by Asst. Prof. Thanja Lamberts from Leiden Observatory and the Institute of Chemistry at Leiden University in the Netherlands.
Complex organic molecules, e.g. sugars and amino acids, discovered in interstellar space are believed to originate from reactions taking place at nanoscale dust grain catalysts. Primarily, these grains are made up of Mg- or Fe-rich silicates or carbon-based materials. In cold and dense gas clouds, the grains are increasingly covered with ices of molecules such as water, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, which may impact their reactivity.
In this postdoc project, the successful applicant will employ ab initio methods to study reactions towards complex organic molecules. The chosen reactions will be guided by experimental results from collaborators in the Center for Interstellar Catalysis. It will also be possible to pursue more independent theory-driven projects, including the development of new theoretical methods. In the group, we have extensive experience with machine learning (ML) methods, and it will be possible to include these approaches in the work. The ML methods could include approaches to accelerate structure optimization or the calculation of binding energies, diffusion and reaction barriers through ML interatomic potentials.
The project will be physically anchored at the Center for Interstellar Catalysis at Aarhus University in Denmark and will take place in close collaboration with partners engaged in computational modelling and simulations, laboratory experiments and astrochemical observations. Visits to partners in Leiden are anticipated.

You can learn more about InterCat here, Mie Andersen’s group here and Thanja Lamberts’s group here.


Starting date and period

The starting date is flexible, from August 2026 onward. The duration of the employment is two years.


Academic qualifications

Applicants must hold a PhD degree in physics, chemistry, nanoscience or related. Previous experience with ab initio calculations in astrochemistry or physical chemistry is required. Experience with programming in Python and/or ML methods will be considered a plus.


Personal qualifications

The ability to work in teams as well as proficient oral and written communication skills (in English) are required.

The Center for Interstellar Catalysis brings together research teams within theory, laboratory experiments and observational astrochemistry situated at Aarhus University and Copenhagen University in Denmark and Leiden University in the Netherlands.

You will become part of a highly collaborative, supportive and international research environment that welcomes new ideas.


Place of work and area of employment

The place of work is Ny Munkegade 120, 8000 Aarhus C and the area of employment is Aarhus University with related departments.
