Job description:

The industry and electricity sectors generate around 63 % of global greenhouse gas emissions, which primarily come from burning fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and oil. Would you like to contribute to the decarbonization of the industry and power grid? Come join our journey towards a more sustainable world.

The Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) with more than 200 employees conducts research in the field of efficient heat and electricity storage and future energy conversion technologies. DLR plays a leading role in Europe and the world in the development of innovative energy storage technologies to accelerate the energy transition in energy-intensive sectors.

At the Department of Thermal Process Technology, we develop efficient and innovative technologies – from the very basic idea up to its application – for a sustainable heat supply at all temperature levels, aiming to reach more flexibility and higher share of renewable energy integration in the industry and power sector.

Surrounded by a dynamic and interdisciplinary environment, where you can explore your ideas and research interests, in the group of Thermal Systems for Fluids, we are looking for a person with a passion for laboratory experiments.

In your doctoral studies you will:

• Carrying out electrochemical experiments on molten salt for storage systems.
• Evaluation of the results with regard to the use of molten salt storage systems in commercial concentrating solar power (CSP) plants and in the future in the industrial and electricity sector in Germany.
• You will present your results in the research team, at international conferences and in scientific articles.
• You will also be responsible for supervising students writing their Bachelor's and Master's theses.

The position is based at the Institute of Engineering Thermodynamic in Stuttgart. Flexible working hours and mobile workplace concepts are part of our everyday life.

This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation.
