• 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 and investigation of cathode composites (electrochemical behavior, microstructure); characterization of degradation products using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS)
• Investigation of the stability of relevant closo-borate solid electrolytes in contact with metal anodes by XPS and ToF-SIMS; Identification and characterization of degradation products; Electrochemical measurements of interfacial stability (time-resolved impedance spectroscopy)
• Close cooperation with colleagues within the project network
• Participating in project meetings and national and international scientific conferences
• Publishing results in scientific journals
