The Institutes of Organic Chemistry and Macromolecular Chemistry invite applications for the position of a

Postdoctoral Researcher (f/m/d) in Organic Battery Materials

The position is embedded within the research consortium POLiS (Post Lithium Storage, www.postlithiumstorage.org/de/), which is funded as a “Cluster of Excellence” by the German Science Foundation. Successful applicants will be jointly supervised by Prof. Max von Delius (Organic Chemistry) and Prof. Alexander JC Kuehne (Macromolecular Chemistry). The objective of the project is to develop novel organic cathode and electrolyte materials for metal-sulfur batteries.

Your profile:

• Ph.D. in Chemistry or a closely related subject
• Research experience in organic synthesis is essential
• Research experience in electrochemistry and/or battery science is beneficial
• Fluent in English
• Excellent communication and presentation skills
• Effective team worker

Your responsibilities:

• To synthesize macromolecular electrolyte and/or cathode materials for metal-sulfur batteries
• To characterize precursor molecules and the organic battery materials using state-of-the-art techniques and instruments
• To cooperate closely with on-site and external battery science researchers
• To fine-tune and optimize materials properties according to key battery characteristics
• To prepare progress reports, research publications and conference presentations
• To co-supervise one PhD student

There is an open position within the Cluster of Excellence “Post Lithium Storage (POLiS)” for a/an

Postdoctoral Scientist (m/f/d)

The project aims at a detailed, molecular-scale understanding of the interactions between electrode and electrolyte in battery systems, which are investigated by means of high-resolution microscopic and spectroscopic techniques under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions and by coupled electrochemical studies, using well-defined model systems. Work is performed in close cooperation with theory. As a member of an internationally leading research team in this field you will contribute to the development of fundamental concepts, which will serve as basis for the systematic development/improvement of realistic post-lithium battery systems. Furthermore you will engage in intro¬ducing data-based approaches into experimental work.

Your profile:

• Master’s degree (or equivalent) and PhD in in in areas related to the above project
• Several years experience in UHV technology and experimental work under UHV conditions
• Interest in modeling and simulation of physical processes
• Very good analytical and organizational skills
• Very good English knowledge (at least C1 level)
• Independent and team- as well as result-oriented way of working
• Engagement and enjoying innovative research

Your responsibilities:

• Independent planning and execution of experimental work and development of new experimental approaches
• Close cooperation with theory
• Close interdisciplinary collaboration, in particular within POLiS
• Occasional participation in tasks related to POLiS and the Graduate school ‘Electrochemical Energy Storage GS-EES”
• Presentation of results within POLiS, at international conferences and in scientific journals
• Participation in the supervision of theses etc.
• Participation in efforts to introduce data-based approaches in experimental work
