Freiburg, Deutschland Solar Energy Systems Vollzeit

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in Freiburg is the largest solar research institute in Europe. Our around 1,400 employees work for a sustainable, economical, safe and socially fair energy supply system based on renewable energies. We contribute to this with our research priorities of energy supply, energy distribution, energy storage and energy use. Through outstanding research results, successful industrial projects, spin-off companies and global cooperation, we shape the sustainable transformation of the energy system. Would you like to actively help shape the energy transition and gain practical experience during your studies? At Fraunhofer ISE, you will contribute to achieving this goal. We are currently seeking a Student Assistant for our group "FCC Brennstoffzelle: Charakterisierung". To establish green ammonia as a hydrogen carrier in the future energy system, we are looking for dedicated students who want to make the thermochemical release of hydrogen energy-efficient and economical. In our exciting project, we are researching new catalysts for the production of green ammonia. Our infrared spectrometer allows for real-time measurements under actual conditions. **What you will do** Become a pioneer in hydrogen technology and support us in these areas: - You will conduct DRIFTS experiments to analyze catalyst surfaces. - You will evaluate IR spectra with regard to surface changes. - You will perform operando measurements to observe dynamic processes. - You will compare the results with complementary analytics such as XPS. - You will compile your findings into a well-structured thesis and present them. **What you bring to the table** - You are enrolled as a student in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field. - You are interested in catalytic research. - You have basic knowledge of infrared spectroscopy and ideally some experience with DRIFTS. - You are interested in heterogeneous catalysis and surface chemistry. - Prior laboratory experience with catalysts is advantageous but not required. - You work independently and goal-oriented. - You have good English skills, both written and spoken. **What you can expect** - **Exclusive insight**: By working together with the scientists in our work unit, you will gain an insight into everyday research and development at a research institute. - **Supervision**:You will be supervised in your work by scientists and receive feedback on your progress. - **Teamwork**:You will gain experience of working in a team by interacting with academic and student staff and will be able to contribute the experience you have already gained. - **Working hours and location**: We offer you the opportunity to flexibly adapt your working hours to your needs by arrangement and to work from home from time to time. - **Equal opportunities**: We value equal opportunities and make room for diversity. - **After work**:Celebrate yourself and your colleagues at after-work events or our annual employee parties, such as the hiking day. In addition to the thesis, a contract as a research assistant is agreed. Remuneration is based on the level of your university degree.
