Chemist, Chemical Engineer or similar (f/m/x)

To build better batteries, we need a deeper understanding of the governing electrochemical and physical processes that take place when operating the battery and which limit their performance and lifetime. For this purpose our team develops and applies advanced experimental techniques to look into the inner working mechanics of active materials, electrodes and how they correlate with the macroscopic behavior of cells. This insight is used to design improved battery components that balance the trade-offs derived from application in terms of energy and power density, longevity and sustainability.

If you want to play an active part in bringing the battery technologies of the future forward, then join our team and help to push the boundaries of battery characterization and development. The focus of the work will be on the implementation of novel characterization methods and analytical tools to comprehensively study interface dynamics, the correlation between active material properties and electrochemical behavior of advanced lithium-ion batteries. As the digitalization of experimental battery research and the cooperation with our modelling partners play a crucial role for this position, an important part of the work will focus on the digitalization of data generation and analysis workflows. You will work in a dynamic and international team in national and international projects.
