Internship: Chemical Recycling and Material Analysis

vor 1 Monat


SulzbachRosenberg, Deutschland Environmental, Safety, and Energy Technology Vollzeit

The “Advanced Carbon Conversion Technologies” department conducts research into innovative technologies for recycling waste for which no recycling technologies are yet available. In some cases, waste contains significant quantities of engineering plastics such as polyamide, critical metals such as indium or precious metals such as palladium. However, as their exact composition and therefore their recycling potential is usually unknown, these valuable materials are often not recovered.

**What you will do**
- Researching and summarizing international literature
- Preparing laboratory samples for analysis
- Analysing and characterizing waste streams and recyclable materials
- Experimentally investigating mechanical, chemical and thermal recycling processes
- Summarizing and evaluating the results

**What you bring to the table**

must have:

- Engineering studies such as process engineering, chemical engineering or similar
- Solution-oriented, independent and self-reliant way of working
- Good knowledge of English

nice to have:

- Confident handling of MS Office
- Practical experience in mechanical and plant engineering, e.g. through training, internship or practical study modules
- Practical experience in the analysis laboratory

**What you can expect**
- As part of a dynamic team, you actively drive sustainable solutions for a resource-efficient future
- Opportunity to combine your knowledge from your studies with practical experience at the interface between business and science and to integrate your own ideas
- New Work, diversity and cooperative interaction are important components of our strategic orientation
- Flexible working hours - we know that your studies come first
- Flexible work locations that fit your studies - mobile work and on-site work are combined as needed
- Intense support for the preparation of your final thesis
- Health and mindfulness programs for good balance
- You can find even more attractive benefits here: Fraunhofer UMSICHT as employer

With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process. As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, Fraunhofer helps shape society now and in the future.
