Research Associate (m/f/d) / Wissenschaftliche*r Mitarbeiter*in (m/w/d) Job ID 25124WV2 Institute of Chemical Reaction Engineering Remuneration EGR. 13TV-L Start of employment as soon as possible Application deadline October 12th 2024 Scope full time and for a maximum of 48 months The Institute of Chemical Reaction Engineering investigates how solid catalysts change their structure and their reactivity in catalytic reactors as function of space and time. Goal is to understand catalyst dynamics in industrial reactors and how these changes influence reaction kinetics, reactant conversion, product selectivity and yield. Within the framework of a PhD project, the novel method of isopotential spectroscopy should be developed further with applications to the following spectroscopic methods: i) Infrared Spectroscopy ii) Raman-Spectroscopy iii) Powder X-Ray Diffraction. The method of isopotential spectroscopy combines a spectroscopic measurement cell with a catalytic reactor in such a way, that the catalyst inside the measurement cell is exposed to the same
