About this position
AIT Austrian Institute of Technology is inviting applications for a Master Thesis position in the Center for Energy in Vienna, within the Competence Unit Power and Renewable Gas Systems.
The project focuses on development of Ni-alloy electrocatalysts for electrocatalytic CO2 reduction, with emphasis on materials science, electrochemistry, thin-film catalyst synthesis, and structural characterization. The research is part of the broader field of Energy Conversion and Hydrogen Technologies and is supported by the Austrian Research and Promotion Agency (FFG).
You will work on literature review, laboratory work, synthesis/deposition protocols for Ni-alloy thin films, and evaluation of electrocatalytic performance in H- and flow-cells. The role includes hands-on use of electron microscopy, EDX, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, gas chromatography, and electrochemical stations.
Eligibility: ongoing master's studies in chemistry, materials science, or physics. Helpful background includes chemistry lab practice, electrochemistry, inorganic chemistry, and thin-film deposition. Applicants should have strong interest in scientific research, application-oriented industrial problems, teamwork, commitment, and good English skills.
Funding: paid thesis position with a gross monthly salary of EUR 1,034.32 for 20 hours/week, plus additional company benefits. The thesis duration is 6 months, with an ideal start date of 01.11.2026 and some flexibility.
