Our research aims to close anthropogenic carbon cycles by transforming underutilized carbon streams into valuable products. We combine fundamental investigations with process engineering to develop scalable, ecologically and economically viable solutions. Our work spans laboratory research to mini-plant scale and integrates interdisciplinary expertise in catalysis, biomass conversion, and CO₂ utilization.
We are looking for a committed research assistant (HiWi) to support our work in the experimental development and analytical validation of carbon-based feedstocks, particularly in connection with the activation of carbon and the synthesis of bio-based base chemicals.

- Support development of analytical methods, including chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques.
- Operate pilot-scale setups and perform process-related testing (e.g., high-pressure reactors and pyrolysis reactors).
- Prepare reports and document measured data.

**Your profile**:

- Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Engineering
- Strong laboratory background, including sample preparation (e.g., leaching, digestion), safety training, laboratory instruments, and pilot plants.
- Proven experience with advanced analytical methods (BET, CHNS, FTIR, ICP, IC, SEM-EDX, TGA, UV-VIS, XRD, XRF, proximate analysis, particle size distribution) and operation of pilot-scale setups (e.g., high-pressure reactors and pyrolysis reactors)
- Knowledge of carbon materials (e.g., activation methods) and material characterization techniques
- International academic and professional experience is desirable (e.g., Erasmus studies, internships).
- Excellent communication skills in German and English (minimum C1 level)
