Research Assistant - 0.67 working time - salary grade 13 TV-L Berliner Hochschulen

Within the scope of a BMBF project, the catalytic hydrodeoxygenation of cellulosic biomass is investigated to enable a shift to green building blocks. The project aims at a direct continuous-flow process yielding terminal diols.

• Kinetic studies in flow and batch reactors (plug-flow, trickle bed, or autoclave reactors)
• Detailed catalyst characterization (before and after reaction)
• Integration of experimental work into a digital work-flow

The obtained data will be used by project partners for machine learning assisted simulation of reaction networks and prediction of catalytic performance.

Successfully completed scientific university degree (diploma, master's degree or equivalent) in chemistry or chemical engineering.

Mandatory qualifications:

• Experience in kinetic investigations (flow reactors or autoclaves)
• Alternatively: Experience in characterizing inorganic materials (solid catalysts)
• Good knowledge of German and/or English required; willingness to acquire the respective missing language skills

Desirable qualifications:

• Experience in educt/product analysis for biomass conversions (e.g. GC/MS, GC/FID, HPLC, 1D and 2D NMR, 2DGG, and GPC)

Applications should include the reference number of the advertised position and the appropriate documents (e.g., cover letter, CV, copy of the certificates of your Diplom / Master degree, a summary of your M.Sc. Thesis, and a publication record if applicable). Please send your complete application in one single pdf file via E-Mail to Dr. Al-Naji: contact@bascat.tu-berlin.de.
