YOUR QUALIFICATIONS AND COMPETENCES

• A scientific university degree in chemistry, physics or materials science (MSc, diploma or equivalent) with at least the mark “good”
• Knowledge of materials and interface chemistry as well as surface analytical methods (esp. ToF-SIMS, XPS).
• Practical knowledge of cell construction as well as electrochemical knowledge. Experimental experience and skill in the preparation and characterization (surface analysis, electrochemical measurement methods) of batteries and battery materials (especially under inert gas atmosphere) are required.
• Good IT skills, especially for data evaluation.
• Proficiency in German and/or English (spelling and grammar).
• Strong communication skills and an interdisciplinary, open mindset.
• Excellent written expression and scientific writing style for publication.

• Preparation of interlayers for lithium metal anodes, and investigation of the stability in contact with lithium by using analytical methods (e.g., XPS, ToF-SIMS, (time-resolved) impedance spectroscopy, CTTA), investigation of rate capability and cycle stability
• (Electro-) chemical characterization of electrodes and separators as well as their degradation behavior using electrochemical, chemical analysis techniques and (microstructural) imaging methods (rate and cycle tests, impedance spectroscopy, XPS, ToF-SIMS, FIB-SEM)
• Close cooperation with colleagues within the project network
• Participating in project meetings and national and international scientific conferences
• Publishing results in scientific journals
