Work group:

IEK-11 – Helmholtz-Institut Erlangen-Nürnberg für Erneuerbare Energien

Area of research:

Scientific / postdoctoral posts

Job description:

Would you like to contribute to the energy transition in Germany through your work? Then the Helmholtz Institute Erlangen-Nürnberg (for Renewable Energy) (HI ERN) is the right place for you! The HI ERN forms the core of the close partnership between Forschungszentrum Jülich, Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin for Materials and Energy, and Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg at the Erlangen site. The collaboration relates to the areas of innovative materials and processes for photovoltaic energy systems and hydrogen as a storage and carrier medium for CO2-neutral energy. Support us researching and developing solutions for the climate-neutral, sustainable, and cost-effective utilization of renewable energies.The successful candidate will be part of the department “Electrocatalytic Interfacial Engineering”, headed by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Simon Thiele, in the team “Membrane Processing and Synthesis”, headed by Dr. Jochen Kerres. The department focuses on the production, analysis and simulation of functionally optimal structures from the nanometer scale to the micrometer scale in electrochemically active materials as well as the production of new materials for catalysis and polymer electrolyte membranes.

Your Job:

• Synthesis and characterization of novel stable proton-conducting acidic polymers

• Manufacture and characterization of proton-conducting acidic membranes in the temperature range between 20-200 °C for PEM fuel cells

• Supervision of students

• Participation in project meetings

• Coordination with internal and external partners

• Publication and presentation of research results in relevant journals or at international conferences

Your Profile:

• Successfully completed PhD dissertation in chemistry or material sciences with excellent grades

• Sound knowledge in synthetic and analytical polymer chemistry

• Knowledge in the field of (acidic and alkaline) solid electrolyte polymers and their application in electrochemical membrane processes such as fuel cells, electrolysis or redox-flow batteries is an advantage

• Excellent organizational skills

• Willingness to show initiative and the ability to work independently

• Strong cooperation and communication skills as well as the ability to work in a team

• Excellent oral and written German and English skills

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:

• International, interdisciplinary working environment on an attractive campus (FAU Südgelände) including many opportunities for cooperation with partners from the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg, the Forschungszentrum Jülich, the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin and from abroad

• Excellent scientific and technical infrastructure for carrying out high-quality research

• Working with analytical measurement methods that are unique in the world

• Cooperation with leading industry partners worldwide

• Comprehensive training courses and individual opportunities for personal and professional further development

• Ideal conditions for balancing work and private life, as well as a family-friendly corporate policy

• Full-time position with the option of slightly reduced working hours and 30 days of annual leave

The position is initially for a fixed term of 3 years, with possible long-term prospects. Salary and social benefits in conformity with the provisions of the Collective Agreement for the Civil Service (TVöD). Depending on the applicant`s qualifications and the precise nature of the tasks, salary grade 13 TVöD-Bund.Place of employment: ErlangenForschungszentrum Jülich promotes equal opportunities and diversity in its employment relations.We also welcome applications from disabled persons.

This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany’s largest scientific organisation.
