Summary
HIPOLE looking for a research associate/PhD student (m/f/d) for their site in Jena, Germany to work in a research project focused on the topic of sustainable polymer research with a specific focus on polymers for energy applications
Deadline: 31.12.2024
Achieving climate neutrality within the next 20 years necessitates an innovation boost for the development of highly efficient, scalable, low-cost, and sustainably produced energy technologies. Polymer materials play a central role in this process. HIPOLE deeply integrates and expands world-class expertise in polymer chemistry, materials science, high-throughput experimentation, and artificial intelligence with complementary expertise in inorganic/hybrid materials, scalable devices, and advanced characterization.
They are looking for a research associate/PhD student (m/f/d) for their site in Jena, Germany. You will have the chance to support the newly founded institute with your ideas and expertise from the very beginning and will collaborate with researchers from all over the world to contribute to the development of a climate-friendly future. The research focus should be on the topic of sustainable polymer research with a focus on polymers for energy applications, working on one of the following four thematic areas:
- Polymer-based thin film battery – synthesis and battery fabrication
- Polymer-based redox flow battery – synthesis of new redox polymers and cell tests
- Encapsulation materials for solar cells – synthesis and characterization
- Sustainable redox-active polymers
