Über diesen Job
Academic worker (f/m/d)
Development of continuous synthesis processes for the production of clusters, nanoparticles and supported catalysts (75% part-time)
Organizational unit
Institute of Catalysis Research und Technology (IKFT)
Job description
The project is part of the Collaborative Research Center "Tracking the Active Site in Heterogeneous Catalysis" (CRC 1441 TrackAct) funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). You will develop continuous synthesis processes for the production of clusters, nanoparticles, and supported catalysts. These will be used to create model catalysts for application tests in the field of emissions control and to establish relationships between structure and properties. To this end, you will technically adapt or further develop an existing synthesis platform. Furthermore, you will utilize or implement online and in situ analysis options to monitor reaction progress and optimize and control the process.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Development of novel, continuous synthesis processes in the liquid phase for the production of precious metal clusters and nanoparticles.
- Production of model catalysts according to the precursor concept using clusters/nanoparticles.
- Characterization of the produced clusters, nanoparticles, and model catalysts. Use of catalysts in catalytic tests in collaboration with project partners.
- Publication of research results and active participation in national and international conferences.
The position offers the opportunity for part-time doctoral studies.
Starting date
01.05.2025
You have:
- An above-average/very good academic degree (Master's/Diploma (University) in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a comparable degree with relevant knowledge of technical and inorganic chemistry and chemical synthesis.
- Experience in handling air-sensitive chemicals and safety in chemical laboratories.
- Experience with chemical analysis techniques (e.g., IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, powder diffraction, electron microscopy).
- Further technical knowledge/skills, e.g., in relation to electronic components and programming skills, are an advantage.
- Very good written and spoken English skills and preferably also German skills.
- Ability to work constructively in a team and with interdisciplinary partners.
- Independent, goal-oriented, and reliable working style.
This is what we offer
Become a member of staff of the only German University of Excellence that conducts large-scale research on the national level. Work under excellent working conditions in an interna-tional environment and be active in research and academic education for our future. Benefit from specific training when starting your job and from a wide range of further qualification offers. Use our flexible working time models (flexitime, work from home), our sports and leisure offers, as well as our child and holiday care services. We also pay a share of EUR 25/month in the Job Ticket Baden-Württemberg. Enjoy a large variety of dishes, snacks, and beverages at our canteens.
Salary
Salary category 13 TV-L, depending on the fulfillment of professional and personal requirements.
