Research assistant (m/f/d) with the perspective of a doctorate - "Characterization of working fluids relevant for hydrogen storage and transport by optical metrology"

The Institute of Advanced Optical Technologies – Thermophysical Properties (AOT-TP) focuses on the development and application of experimental and theoretical methods for the determination of material properties of fluids in energy and process engineering. In the context of a research project in the fields of optics and material property research for process engineering (download a detailed description here) the institute AOT-TP is looking for a research assistant with the perspective of a doctorate.

Your Tasks

  • Performing experimental investigations on, e.g., liquid organic hydrogen carrier systems without and with the presence of hydrogen by optical and conventional methods, aiming at the accurate determination of transport (viscosity, diffusion coefficient, thermal diffusivity and conductivity) and equilibrium (density, interfacial tension, solubility) properties
  • Identification of structure-property relationships to allow for the development of prediction models of the properties of interest for engineering purposes
  • Further development of the experimental methods and data evaluation strategies
  • Close collaboration with project partners and the other members of the institute
  • Co-organization of exercises, seminars and practical courses as well as supervision of students in the context of theses

Your Profile

Necessary qualifications:

  • Above-average degree in the field of engineering or natural sciences
  • Enthusiasm for independent scientific work
  • Strong interests in optics and thermophysical property research
  • High level of commitment, ability to work in a team and reliability
  • Good to very good knowledge of English
