About this position


Job alert ??: we are searching for a Ph.D. student for exploring functionizing the interlayer space of MXenes for energy storage and other electrochemical applications ???

Within the framework of RTG 3082 (Research Training Group; funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - German Research Foundation ) coordinated by David Scheschkewitz from Universität des Saarlandes , my team is looking for a Ph.D. student to join us this fall. Your profile should be a Master's degree in material science, chemistry, or a related field with experience in material chemistry and 2D materials ??

Your task? You will explore the properties of functional groups and intercalated ions/molecules in-between MXene sheets. The unique world of nanoconfinement will be used as a technology platform to enable (electro)chemical applications. You are also being part of a coordinated research program, interacting with several other Ph.D. students and PIs - so we are looking for self-motived, teamwork-oriented people ????

The application process is purely online (not via DM's or eMails) via the following link:

https://lnkd.in/eqftrdzr

Your application must include your CV, a complete list of publications, one-page motivation letter, and at least two letters of reference.
