Research Assistant (m/f/d)

Supplier: Chair of thermodynamics of mobile energy wall systems and Institute of Thermodynamics The Chair of Thermodynamics of Mobile Energy Wall Systems (TME) at RWTH Aachen under the direction of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Together with the Chair of Technical Thermodynamics (LTT), Stefan Pischinger is located in the Faculty of Machine Engineering within the Rhine-Westphalian Technical University. At the Chair of Thermodynamics of Mobile Energy Wall Systems (TME) and its Center for Mobile Propulsion (CMP), all research topics relating to mobile drive systems are processed. The internal combustion engine with synthetic fuels, the fuel cell and the battery-electric drive are in focus, always very closely connected to the further development of intelligent test methods and calibration. With our research and our innovative solutions, we design all forms of sustainable mobility. For further information, please visit: http://www.tme.rwth-aachen.de The RWTH is certified as a family-friendly university. RWTH offers a variety of health, counselling and prevention services (e.g. university sports) as part of a university health management. There is a wide range of training and the possibility of obtaining a job ticket for employees and civil servants.
