Research Assistant - 0.6667 working time - salary grade 13 TV-L Berliner Hochschulen - 1st qualification period (PhD candidate) - Heterogeneous Catalysis - BasCat
BasCat is a JointLab of the Cluster of Excellence UniSysCat and BASF at the Technische Universität Berlin. Its main focus is heterogeneous catalysis as key technique for meeting the challenges of the future: Avoidance of carbon dioxide emissions, use of carbon dioxide and polymer waste as raw material, and efficient generation and usage of hydrogen. New raw material sources, catalysts and processes are mandatory in order to yield an essential contribution to a sustainable, energy- and atom-efficient circular economy (carbon cycle). BasCat and its academic and industrial partners work in multi-disciplinary teams at the interface of base research, engineering and data science with the goal to transfer their gained knowledge from research to industrial application.
Working field:
Reactions using carbon dioxide or polymer waste as raw material (hydrogenations), smart dehydrogenation reactions (to olefins and hydrogen) or ammonia reforming as supply of green hydrogen will be of high importance in near future. Therefore, novel catalyst (single-atom catalysts, nanoalloys, single-atom alloys) need to be developed using new concepts (e.g. sol-gel, atomic layer deposition, single-source precursors). Industrially applied synthesis techniques (e.g. incipient wetness impregnation) will be used for reference materials. Supported metal catalysts will be prepared using standard materials as well as redox-active oxides (e.g. CeZrOx), mesoporous oxides (e.g. SBA-15, KIT-6) or MOFs and COFs. Partaking in teaching is expected.
Requirements:
Successfully completed university degree (Master, Diplom or equivalent) in chemistry with above-average success. You have an in-depth understanding of heterogeneous catalysis and expertise in the area of inorganic chemistry. Practical experience in catalyst synthesis is expected. Practical experience in (in situ) characterization of catalysts is an advantage. Fluency in German and English is considered as a plus.
How to apply:
Please send your application with the reference number II-326/22 and the usual documents (e.g. cover letter, CV, copy of the certificates of your Diplom/Master, a summary of your Master thesis and a publication record, all combined in a single pdf file, max. 5 MB) by email to Emanuela Toussaint (contact@bascat.tu-berlin.de).
