The Department for Nanochemistry (head: Prof. Bettina V. Lotsch) is looking for an
Experienced Postdoc (Chemist / Material Scientist / Physicist [PhD]) (f/m/div) for the SolBat Project
Your job:
The SolBat initiative is funded by the Max Planck Foundation and poised to deliver pioneering work in the field of solar batteries and optoionics during the next five years. Research will focus on the emer­ging intersection of photo(electro)chemistry and solid state ionics and aim at the development of novel light storing devices and optoionic technologies, including various light-enhanced battery con­cepts, time-delayed (“dark”) photo(electro)catalysis, and light-assisted memory devices. The projects will be carried out in close collaboration with the Theory Depart­ment (head: Karsten Reuter) at the Fritz Haber Institute (FHI) and have a strong focus on AI-based evaluation methods and robotic material design for the next generation of optoionic materials. The SolBat pro­ject is expected to deliver a significant contribution to the transition towards a renewable and sustainable energy infra­structure as well as the development of energy efficient, miniaturized microsystems for next-generation data processing and storage. This initiative is unique on a global scale and is supposed to lay the foundations for a multi­disciplinary network within the Max Planck Society and beyond.
Purpose of the role:
Scientific leadership of SolBat subprojects with electrochemistry focus; project conception and coordination
Design and realization of solar batteries and related light-assisted optoionic concepts
Investigation of optoionic processes on an atomistic scale and elucidation of structure-property-function relationships
Scientific supervision of laboratory setups for electrochemical characterization techniques including impedance spectroscopy, electroanalytical techniques, spectroelectrochemistry, or related (operando, in situ, ex situ) (spectro)electrochemical methods
Co-supervision of PhD students and postdocs
Building and maintaining a network of external collaboration partners, both on the national and international level
Administrative support, e.g. organizing and managing team meetings
Conceptualizing and writing scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals, patents, project proposals and reports, and contribution to science communication and scientific outreach activities in the context of SolBat
Your profile:
PhD in chemistry, material science, physics, or a related subject with a focus on solid state electrochemistry / solid state ionics or (photo)electrochemistry
Postdoctoral research experience in an international research environment
In-depth knowledge of at least one (preferably more) of the following fields: solid state ionics / batteries, general and/or photoelectrochemistry; previous experience in optoionics is a plus
Advanced experience in impedance spectroscopy and time and frequency domain electrochemical techniques is required
Specialized in-depth knowledge of spectroscopic methods (NMR, optical methods, etc.) is desirable
Strong track record in independently composing and publishing research papers, patents, and project proposals / reports
Experience in student (co-)supervision
Strong cooperation and communication skills
Fluent English speaking and writing skills
