PhD Student, Materials Chemistry / Electrochemistry: LIST

M-2009 – PhD Student in the Field Of Materials Chemistry / Electrochemistry at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST).

LIST is seeking to recruit a Ph.D. student to work on the synthesis of copper/carbons materials for the development of High Ampacity composites.

Research Theme: This project is a follow-up of a finishing industrial project that successfully set up, among others, an innovative synthesis method of such materials into standard electrolytic aqueous media.

Copper possesses quite high electro- and heat conductivities and is therefore leading many applications such as electronics, electrical household equipment, transport, and aeronautics.

Qualifications / Requirements

1. Hold a Master of Science degree with proven theoretical and practical skills in materials chemistry and interface engineering, combined with a proven hands-on experience in materials chemistry and/or electrochemistry, electroplating.
2. Master Student who can contribute to this project through the development and the optimization of new Copper – Carbon Nanostructure architectures for high ampacity composites.
3. Highly motivated to work with an industrial partner
4. Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
5. Strengths are initiative, autonomy, result-oriented, and capacity to work in an interdisciplinary environment and team.
6. Good experience with structural and chemical characterization using state-of-the-art techniques (SEM, DRX, XPS, etc.). -Knowledge in system engineering and multiscale modeling of soft matter is considered as an asset;
7. A good level of English is a must, good knowledge of French and/or German is an asset
