• Publication of the research results in scientific journals and their presentation at national/international conferences
• Report progress to the funding agency and the partners regularly

Requirements:

• PhD degree in heterogeneous catalysis, preferably environmental/automotive catalysis
• Skills in catalyst testing on monolithic or powder catalysts and in catalyst characterization (XRD, BET, TEM, TPD) and corresponding data analysis
• Strong motivation for experimental work in an international team
• Good knowledge of English
• Command of German is advantageous for the communication with lab assistants and technicians

Applications:

Application to be submitted online including the list of publications and addresses of referees (index no. 5105-00).
