Jülich, Deutschland Forschungszentrum Jülich Vollzeit

Would you like to actively shape the structural change in the Rhenish mining area together with us? With us you have the chance to join the newly founded Institute for a Sustainable Hydrogen Economy (INW) with your ideas right from the start. Together with the H2 demonstration region, the INW forms the "Helmholtz Cluster for sustainable and Infrastructure-Compatible Hydrogen Economy" (HC-H2). Here, scientific foundations are laid in the field of innovative hydrogen technologies in order to advance research and development approaches with high sustainability potential and attractive economic prospects. At the institute division "Catalytic Interfaces for Chemical Hydrogen Storage" (INW-1, Prof. Dr. Hans-Georg Steinrück), we investigate mechanisms and processes in (electro)chemical energy storage systems. For the purposes, we develop and use advanced (X-ray-based) methods as well as modern data reduction und data evaluation methods, including machine learning and big data analytics. **Your Job**: - Design and development of a modular high throughput sample environment for chemical hydrogen storage investigations under realistic conditions - Design, optimization, and testing of sample environment for reactors in serial production for operando studies - Operando investigation of catalyst structures using high energy X-ray methods (scattering, spectroscopy, imaging) using in-house - and synchrotron beamlines - Operando studies for the investigation of relationships between catalyst structure and morphology with its performance (reactivity, selectivity, efficiency) and degradation under realistic long term deployment conditions - Coordination and execution of synchrotron beam times - Collaboration with other groups, in particular at INW - Extended visits to synchrotron facilities (DESY, ESRF) - Participation in international conferences (including presenting your research results) - Preparation of scientific publications and project reports - Supervision of PhD students and other students - Support in establishing the institute - Writing of third-party funding grants and support thereof **Your Profile**: - Master's degree with PhD in physics, chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, or a related discipline - Extensive knowledge of X-ray methods - Knowledge of synchrotron science - Knowledge of catalysis a - Experience in energy storage - Experience with programming languages (ideally Python), SPS controls system - Fluent in written and spoken English - Very independent and self-motivated way of working but also excellent teamwork skills - High motivation to take on responsibility and develop own research ideas - Willingness for regular business trips **Our Offer**: We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change We support you in your work with: - Comprehensive training courses and individual opportunities for personal and professional further development - Extensive company health management - Ideal conditions for balancing work and private life, as well as a family-friendly corporate policy - Flexible work (location) arrangements, e.g. remote work Targeted services for international employees, e.g. through our International Advisory Service In addition to exciting tasks and a collaborative working atmosphere at Jülich, we have a lot more to offer: Place of employment: Brainergy Park Jülich
