Oberhausen, Deutschland Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Vollzeit

As one of 76 institutes of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, the leading organization for applied research in Europe, we show how to not only master crises, but grow from them. Pushing boundaries. Always trying something new. Not just thinking, but thinking ahead. We turn research into the future.

We want an earth that is worth living on. With our research in the divisions of climate-neutral energy systems, resource-efficient processes and circular products, we make concrete contributions to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Our employees conduct research in the fields of energy, environment, safety, health, communication and mobility.

 

We are looking for motivated and passionate employees for our innovative project for the electrochemical processing of glycerol from biodiesel production. Our aim is to make this co-product sustainably usable and available for microbial conversion into valuable end products. 

 

What you will do

  • Development of electrocatalysts for the conversion of glycerol to valorized organic compounds
  • Production and characterization of electrodes for use in state-of-the-art electrolyzers
  • Testing and optimization of an electrochemical conversion process for glycerol 
  • Coordination of the linkage to a microbial downstream process
  • Regular presentation of the results in internal and external project meetings 

 

What you bring to the table

  • Degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, biochemistry, biotechnology or a similar field of study
  • Relevant experience in the analysis of organic compounds
  • Knowledge of electrochemistry is desirable
  • Independent and conscientious scientific way of working
  • Very good knowledge of written and spoken English 
  • Strong teamwork and communication skills

 

What you can expect

  • As part of a dynamic team, you actively drive sustainable solutions for a resource-efficient future
  • We enable a creative and varied working day at the interface between business and science
  • New Work, diversity and cooperative interaction are important components of our strategic orientation
  • We care about what you care about - that's why we offer flexible and mobile working, as well as a wide range of work-life balance options
  • Flexible workplace – both remote and at the institute in Oberhausen possible by arrangement
  • Right from the start, we support you in your individual career development through various development offers as well as accompanying programs
  • We support our employees by offering comprehensive health and mindfulness programs for good balance
  • Sustainable and affordable travel – we subsidize your Germany Job Ticket
  • You can find even more attractive benefits here:  

 

 

This position is initially limited to 3 years. The weekly working time is 39 hours. The full-time position with half-time pay offers 50% of the working time for your doctorate and 50% for the collaboration in the research project as a research assistant. We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore 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. Appointment, remuneration and social security benefits based on the public-sector collective wage agreement (TVöD).
