Job description:
Postdoc position in Metal Hydride Development

Reference code: 2024/WT 1
Commencement date: as soon as possible
Work location: Geesthacht (near Hamburg), Germany
Application deadline: March 26th, 2024

The department of Materials Design, in the Institute of Hydrogen Technology at Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, invites applications for a PostDoc position in the development of nanocrystalline light metal hydrides and hydride composites for solid-state hydrogen storage. The position is initially limited to fifteen months (starting as soon as possible).
In principle, the full time position (39 h/week) is also sharable. The place of employment is Geesthacht.

The aim of the project is the synthesis, characterization, and optimization of novel light metal hydrides and their composites for hydrogen storage. The findings of this project serve as the foundation for additional material optimization for both stationary and mobile energy storage applications.

Your tasks
The position entails the synthesis of metal hydride composites by high-energy milling, wet chemistry, and solid-gas reactions. The synthesized material will be characterized with respect to microstructure, chemical state, and relevant application properties, i.e., hydrogen absorption and desorption, thermodynamics, etc. The focus of the work will be the development of hydride-polymer composites for pollutant-resistant and high-performance hydrogen storage materials.

Exchanges with the collaborating partners are planned. Furthermore, the applicant will have the chance to visit hydrogen technology related scientific training workshops, complementary skills seminars at Hereon, and is expected to present scientific results at international conferences.

For further information about the project and the partners of the network, please contact Dr. habil. Claudio Pistidda (claudio.pistidda@hereon.de).

Your profile
  • University degree in chemistry, physics or related fields is required, PhD degree in chemistry, physics or related fields.
  • Experiences in X-ray scattering techniques, kinetics of chemical reactions and powder metallurgy are highly desirable.
  • Knowledge in metal hydrides and/or hydrogen technology would be an additional advantage.
  • Appropriate presentation, communication, and writing skills are expected.

We offer you
  • an exciting and varied job in a research centre with more than 1,000 employees from around 60 nations
  • a well connected research campus and best networking opportunities
  • individual opportunities for further training
#social benefits according to the collective agreement of the public service and remuneration
#an excellent technical infrastructure and modern workplace equipment
#6 weeks holiday per year and company holidays between Christmas and New Year’s Day
#very good compatibility private and professional life through offers of mobile and flexible work
#free assistance program for employees (EAP)
#corporate Benefits
#a varied offer in the canteen on campus

Severely disabled persons and those equaling severely disabled persons who are equally suitable for the position will be considered preferentially within the framework of legal requirements.



Interested?
Then we are looking forward to receiving your comprehensive application documents (cover letter, CV, transcripts, certificates etc.) indicating the reference number code no. 2024/WT 1 until 26 March 2024.

This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany’s largest scientific organisation.

Company

The Helmholtz Association contributes to solving major challenges to assure the future of our society. With more than 39,000 people on staff in 18 national research centres, the Helmholtz Association is Germany’s largest scientific organization. The name Helmholtz stands for concerted research in which networks form the key principle behind inquiring thought and action. Concerted research is efficient and flexible.

The profile of the Helmholtz Association

The Helmholtz Association performs cutting-edge research which contributes substantially to solving the grand challenges of science, society and industry. To succeed in meeting these responsibilities, Helmholtz concentrates its work in six research fields: Energy, Earth and Environment, Health, Key Technologies, Matter, as well as Aeronautics, Space and Transport. Within each of these fields, research programs are developed by our scientists and regularly evaluated by renowned international experts. Their evaluation forms the basis for the programme-oriented funding that is allocated to Helmholtz research. Within the six research fields, Helmholtz scientists cooperate with each other and with external partners – working across disciplinary, organizational and national borders.

Promoting young academics

Helmholtz scientists, a high-performance infrastructure and modern and efficient research management are the ingredients to the Helmholtz Association‘s success and global impact.
Promoting young researchers is a major priority for the Helmholtz Association. Its qualification schemes for young researchers are geared mainly towards PhD students, postdocs and young managers. The Helmholtz Association has set high standards for its talent management. Its strategy begins with targeted recruitment of highly qualified staff at all levels, followed by comprehensive support aimed at further developing their potential. Ensuring equal opportunities is an essential element in all talent management activities undertaken by the Helmholtz Association.

The Helmholtz Graduate Schools and Research Schools at almost all Helmholtz Centres provide doctoral students with the general and specific skills and training they need, as well as ample opportunity to network with other working groups. The period following a doctorate is decisive in determining the direction and success of a scientific career. For this reason, we are about to establish Career Centers for postdoctoral researchers in the Helmholtz centres and a mentoring programme for especially gifted PostDocs in order to foster career orientation. This equips young researchers with the skills they need to go on to head a Helmholtz Young Investigators Group, for example. As a Young Investigator Group leader, junior scientists can independently set up their own group to conduct research in their specialist field.

Within its talent management strategy, the Helmholtz Association pays special attention to the increased recruitment of talented female scientists both from Germany and abroad. To this end, there are currently two funding programs supporting this policy Funding of first-time appointments of excellent women scientists (W2/W3)’ and ‘Funding to recruit top-level international women scientists (W3)’.

The increasing complexity of the content, structures and framework conditions of scientific work today requires researchers to organise their projects, their employees and, of course, themselves in a highly professional and effective way. In response to these demands, we have set up the Helmholtz Management Academy to provide junior leaders in science with professional management training. Furthermore, the Helmholtz network provides a platform for the alumni of the Helmholtz Management Academy and Mentoring programme to come together and share their experiences of leadership, career development and lifelong learning.
