Your Job:
We are looking for a candidate with a strong background in materials chemistry and electrochemical characterization methods. In this project, you will be responsible for testing and establishing standardized protocols for the characterization of solid electrolytes for solid-state batteries using impedance spectroscopy. The project explores a multidimensional parameter space in terms of cell design and measurement conditions that aims to identify optimal settings for a standardized method to benchmark solid electrolytes. This project is a BMBF-funded collaborative project that requires efficient and constant exchange of knowledge and progress with our University and Industry partners.
Your Tasks include:
- Synthesis, processing and contacting of solid electrolyte samples
- Characterization of such samples with methods such as x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, microscopy
- Electrochemical characterization of solid electrolyte samples using impedance spectroscopy
- Analysis of the generated impedance data to identify the influence of cell design and measurement conditions on the resulting ionic conductivity of the samples
- Generation of reports with the analyzed data, as well as the preparation of project reports to the funding agency and attending project-related meetings (both virtually and on-site)
Your Profile:
- Successfully completed Master`s degree with subsequent Doctorate in the fields of Chemistry, Materials Science or Chemical Engineering
- Previous experience with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is required
- Experience with the solid-state synthesis and handling of solid materials in inert atmospheres is beneficial
- Excellent communication skills in the English language, both spoken and written, is required
- Proficiency in the German language is beneficial but not required
- Commitment to collaborate with internal and external project partners
- Structured and independent working ethic
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 support you in your work with:
- An excellent environment in which to conduct high-quality research at an international level
- A lively scientific environment within HI MS and opportunities for cooperation with our partners at RWTH Aachen University, Forschungszentrum Jülich and WWU Münster
- Discussion and preparation of career development opportunities with the support of our Career Center & Postdoc Office
- Optimal conditions for work-life balance as well as a family-conscious corporate policy
- Comprehensive company health management
