The Institute Electrochemical Energy Storage is looking for

Doctoral Student (f/m/d) in the Field of Chemistry

Your Tasks

  • Synthesis and characterization of plasmonic-based nanoparticles (Au, Ag, etc.) and testing their plasmon-assisted "catalytic effect" in solution. 
  • Optimization of the parameters (e.g. temperature, reaction time, precursor species and concentrations) for up-scaling of synthesis, which will be used for SERS and XAS experiments by the partners. 
  • Surface modification of plasmonic nanoparticles that can modulate the charge transfer and heat transfer processes in catalytic reactions.
  • Work collaboratively with internal colleagues and external partners to understand the mechanism of plasmon-induced catalytic reactions.
  • Data processing and writing papers for scientific publications.
  • Presentation and discussion of research results at national and international conferences and meetings.

Your Profile

  • Completed university studies in the field of chemistry or materials science
  • Inter- & multi-disciplinary knowledge on plasmonic nanoparticles synthesis, plasmon-enhanced catalytic reaction, and advanced characterization
  • Research experience in colloid chemistry, especially in nanoparticle synthesis and sur-face modification techniques
  • Skilled in physio-chemical characterization of materials and catalytic reactions, such as SEM/TEM, XRD, UV-Vis, Raman, GC-MS, etc.
  • Advanced knowledge on the interpretation of scientific results and presentation
  • Good skills in communication and project management
  • Good language skills in English
