vor 1 Woche


Oberhausen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Vollzeit

As a leading organization for applied research in Europe, Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is committed to pushing boundaries and driving innovation. Our research focuses on developing key technologies that are vital for the future, enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety, and Energy Technology UMSICHT is seeking a highly motivated Master's student to contribute to our research efforts. The successful candidate will work on developing and characterizing molecular catalysts for CO2 electroreduction, a crucial process towards a sustainable and reliable energy supply.

The project involves:

  • Synthesis and characterization of molecular electrocatalysts
  • Electrode preparation: integration of the prepared catalysts into heterogeneous systems
  • Planning and execution of experiments on CO2 electroreduction
  • Preparation and presentation of research results

We are looking for a candidate with a strong background in chemistry or related studies, experience in scientific research, and a structured, independent working style. Excellent knowledge of English is required.

As a member of our dynamic team, you will have the opportunity to combine your knowledge from your studies with practical experience at the interface between business and science. You will also benefit from our flexible working hours, intense support for the preparation of your final thesis, and a range of attractive benefits.

We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and welcome all applications, regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation, and identity. Severely disabled persons are given preference in the event of equal suitability.
