Internship / Master Thesis – Methods for NMR Pulse Analysis and Application in Electrochemical Experiments

vor 5 Monaten


Jülich, Deutschland Forschungszentrum Jülich Vollzeit

Your Job:

At IEK-9, we are developing exciting interdisciplinary methods to investigate the key mechanisms in batteries and electrolysis using pulsed NMR. By understanding the spin states that have to be experimentally prepared we are tailoring magnetic pulses to push the limits of NMR in operando experiments, probing for example interfaces or membranes. For an optimized workflow, a detailed characterization of these pulses is highly useful. The project focuses on the implementation and testing of a state-of-the-art spectrogram pulse analysis method. Your tasks include:

Porting a state-of-the-art spectrogram module for pulse sequence analysis from Matlab to Python
Testing the spectrogram module on several published pulse sequences
Exchange with experimental NMR spectroscopists
Investigating how electrochemical NMR setups may influence spin state preparation using spectrograms

Your Profile:

Ongoing master studies in chemistry, physics, data science, computer science or a related field
Knowledge on the fundamentals of NMR spectroscopy required
Experience in Python programming required
Expertise on the fundamentals of electrochemistry and spin dynamics desirable
Interest in interdisciplinary research projects and the ability to work in a cooperative manner
Ability to show initiative and work independently in a structured, organized way
Fluent command of written and spoken English

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:

An interesting and socially relevant topic for your thesis with future-oriented themes
Ideal conditions for gaining practical experience alongside your studies
An interdisciplinary collaboration on projects in an international, committed and collegial team
Excellent technical equipment and the newest technology
Qualified support through your scientific colleagues
The chance to independently prepare and work on your tasks
A large research campus with green spaces, offering the best possible means for networking with colleagues and pursuing sports alongside work
Flexible working hours as well as a reasonable remuneration
Flexible work (location) arrangements, remote work

In addition to exciting tasks and a collaborative working atmosphere in Jülich, we have a lot more to offer:

We welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds, in terms of age, gender, disability, sexual orientation / identity, and social, ethnic and religious origin. A diverse and inclusive working environment with equal opportunities in which everyone can realize their potential is important to us.
