The Electrochemical Energy Science group at Technische Universität Berlin seeks to hire a candidate with hands-on experience in experimental electrochemistry and electrocatalysis.

Participation in a BMBF-funded research project in the field of Li-mediated electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (Li-NRR) for green ammonia synthesis in gas-diffusion-based flow cell systems. Main focus is on cell design, especially flow field design, and characterization techniques. The goal of this project is to advance the understanding and optimization of Li-NRR processes and contribute to sustainable ammonia production within the green hydrogen value chain.

• Successfully completed university degree (Master, Diploma or equivalent) and Ph.D. in Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Chemical/Mechanical Engineering
• Experience with electrochemical flow cell design and operation and electrochemical measurement methods
• Demonstrated experience with characterization techniques (XRD, XPS, TEM, SEM, operando techniques desirable)
• Detailed knowledge of electrochemical software and programming languages (Python, Matlab, C++)
• Proven experience in scientific writing and publishing
• Good knowledge of German and/or English required; willingness to acquire the respective missing language skills
• Experience in synthesis of catalytic material is desirable
• Experience in the field of optimising the mechanical properties of electrolysis cells, e.g. pressure and
  temperature management is desirable
• Experience in supervising students' final theses is desirable

• A varying job within an international university
• Cooperation with other research facilities and industry
• A modern workspace in Berlin
• International renowned and motivated team and a nice working atmosphere
