Tech­ni­sche Uni­ver­sität Ber­lin - Faculty II - Institute of Chemistry - BasCat - UniCat BASF JointLab

Technische Universität Berlin offers an open position:

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

The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) promotes a resource-efficient recycling economy and the development of methods for plastic recycling (https://is.gd/Qhioyh).
Within this scope, BasCat - UniCat BASF JointLab investigates catalytic hydrogenation of plastic waste to enable a circular plastic economy. This project aims at the efficient use of green hydrogen for turning mixed plastic waste into a raw material for the chemical industry.
The implementation of new raw materials, catalysts, and processes is mandatory to make a significant contribution to a sustainable, energy- and atom-efficient circular economy (closed carbon cycle). The research project is dedicated to heterogeneous catalysis and is conducted by multi-disciplinary teams at TU Berlin.

Working field:

  • Conducting corresponding kinetic studies using high-pressure and high-temperature single autoclave units as well as parallel testing units
  • Preparing and evaluating various solid catalysts for the chemical recycling of plastic waste (pure and mixed plastic waste)
  • Detailed characterization of fresh and used catalysts

The obtained data will be used to identify correlations between physio-chemical properties of catalysts and their catalytic performance. Additionally, data will be shared with team members and project partners for kinetic modeling and the subsequent transition from lab-scale processes to larger-scale applications.

Requirements:

  • Successfully completed university degree (diploma, master's degree or equivalent) in chemistry or chemical engineering with above-average academic performance

Mandatory qualifications:

  • Experience in catalytic testing (preferably in a parallel testing unit)
  • Alternatively: experience in kinetic modeling
  • Good knowledge of German and/or English required; willingness to acquire the respective missing language skills

Disirable qualifications:

  • Experience in preparation and characterizing inorganic materials (solid catalysts)
  • Detailed knowledge in polymer/product analysis, such as GCMS-FID, simulated distillation, 2DGG, GPC, and DSC

How to apply:

Applications should include the reference number and the appropriate documents (e.g., cover letter, CV, copy of the certificates of your Diplom / Master, 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).
