Promotion (w/m/d) – Simulation of Battery Materials Reference number: 5031 Place of work: Ulm Date of entry: immediately Career level: Promotion Degree of employment: parttime, fulltime Duration of employment: 3 years Payment: Compensation is carried out in accordance with the applicable collective agreements of the public service (Bund). Get into the fascinating world of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) to help shape the future with research and innovation! With the know-how and curiosity of our around 12,000 employees from 100 nations and our unique infrastructure, we offer an exciting and inspiring working environment. We jointly develop sustainable technologies and thus contribute to solving global challenges. Do you want to tackle this major task of the future with us? Then your place is with us! At the Institute of Technical Thermodynamics we develop the energy storage of the future We model and simulate physical-chemical processes in batteries. Our thermodynamic models describe reactions and transport of ions with partial differential equations. Our quantum-chemical models describe the reactions of atoms on electrode surfaces. Together with experimental partners, we develop and optimise the future energy storage systems. Would you like to help shape the energy storage of the future? Then part of our team and modelled batteries with thermodynamics, electrochemistry, numerical simulations and machine learning. You benefit from your own creative freedom and individual support. .

Your tasks • Your profile • What we offer
You use and develop models to describe the physical processes in batteries. You can use our existing simulation tools and improve them further. You identify existing challenges in battery modeling and look for solutions. You collect skills in the application of artificial intelligence to characterize and optimize batteries. You will explore resource-saving post lithium batteries such as organic batteries or lithium metal batteries. You transfer the results of basic research into the industry to optimize the batteries of our experimental and industrial partners. To convey your results in the battery community, you write scientific publications and present at national and international conferences.
Theory and simulation fascinate you. You have a scientific degree in a science or engineering discipline (e.g. physics, chemistry, mathematics or the like) with very good performance. Your good knowledge of English will help you communicate with our international team. You have basic programming skills.
DLR stands for the diversity, appreciation and equality of all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees in the personal and professional environment. Our numerous continuing and continuing training opportunities are available to you. We are particularly concerned about equality of opportunity, so we want to increase the proportion of women in science and leadership in particular. We prefer applications of severely disabled people with professional suitability. .
