About us
PhD position: sustainable energy materials
30.06.2023, Wissenschaftliches Personal
We test novel catalysts for sustainable energy conversion processes such as polymer electrolyte fuel cells or electrolyzers, H2O2 production, or electrochemical CO2 reduction. To do so, the stability of newly developed catalysts is of pressing concern. You will continue our research line around stability assessment of novel catalysts by electrochemical flow cell measurements that will be coupled to on-line analytics. Specifically, an in-house designed flow cell is coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and the stability against dissolution will be assessed. This will be done with collaboration partners around the world. The workflow spans from physical chemistry to material science and engineering. We are looking for an individual with a high willingness to take initiative and motivation to start her/his career at the newly founded group “sustainable energy materials” at TUM.
Your Profile:
- Master in chemistry, physics, material science, engineering, or a closely-related field
- You have experience/interest in electrochemistry (electrocatalysis, plating, corrosion…)
- Knowledge/Interest in method development
- Knowledge/Interest in analytical chemistry
- Excellent English speaking and writing abilities
- No German language skills required
- Interdisciplinary team working skills with high independency and outstanding academic performance
- Hands-on mentality
Applicants should submit their CV including A-level, bachelor and master degrees, and a motivation letter detailing their interest and suitability for the position.
Mission:
We test novel catalysts for sustainable energy conversion processes such as polymer electrolyte fuel cells or electrolyzers, H2O2 production, or electrochemical CO2 reduction. To do so, the stability of newly developed catalysts is of pressing concern. You will continue our research line around stability assessment of novel catalysts by electrochemical flow cell measurements that will be coupled to on-line analytics (c.f. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41563-019-0555-5). Specifically, an in-house designed flow cell is coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and the stability against dissolution will be assessed. This will be done with collaboration partners around the world. The workflow spans from analytical chemistry to material science and engineering. There is no need for previous knowledge in the described fields but a strong motivation to learn and push the boundaries of our current knowledge further. We are looking for an individual with a high willingness to take initiative and motivation to start her/his career at TUM.
We offer:
TUM offers a wide range
of inspiring and challenging Ph.D. programs, which will supplement the research
training with outstanding opportunities for career development, continued
education, and life-long learning.
We offer excellent working conditions in a young and interdisciplinary team. In
an open environment, you will have the freedom to develop and realize your own
ideas. TUM Campus Straubing for Biotechnology and Sustainability offers
scientific and academic excellence in a student-friendly and fresh environment.
The successful applicant will hold a 3-year contract. We offer a competitive
salary and benefits depending on work experience and seniority in accordance
with the public service wage agreement of the Free State of Bavaria - TV-L E13
(67%). As an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, TUM explicitly
encourages applications from women and all others who would bring additional
diversity dimensions to the university’s research and teaching strategies.
Preference will be given to disabled candidates with essentially the same
qualifications.
Interested?
We are looking forward to receiving your application via e-mail to marc.ledendecker@tum.de. The position will be open until an appropriate candidate is found.
