Your Job:
The electrocatalytic interface engineering department led by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Simon Thiele focuses on synthesis, manufacturing, analysis and simulation of functional materials to find an optimum structure on small scales from the micrometer to the nanometer scale. The investigated materials and systems play an essential role in sustainable technologies like water- and CO2-electrolyzers, as well as in fuel cells.
Your tasks in detail:
- Manufacturing of catalyst layers and membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) for electrochemical characterization
- Physical, spectroscopic, and electrochemical characterization of MEAs prior to, during, and after operation
- Participation in project meetings
- Coordination with internal and external partners
- Publication and presentation of research results in relevant journals and at international conferences
Your Profile:
- Excellent master degree in Physics, Chemistry or a similar discipline
- Strong interest in pursuing research on electrochemical systems
- Experience in one (or more) of the following areas is desirable: Electrochemistry, thin films, polymers, catalysis
- High motivation for pursuing a PhD within 3 years
- Ability to show initiative and work independently
- Excellent cooperation and communication skills and ability to work as part of a team
- Excellent skills in spoken and written English
Our Offer:
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change! We offer ideal conditions for you to complete your doctoral degree:
