vor 17 Stunden
Materials science and technology are our passion. With our cutting-edge research, Empa's around 1,100 employees make essential contributions to the well-being of society for a future worth living. Empa is a research institution of the ETH Domain.
Employ plasmas and renewable energy to upcycle the two primary greenhouse gases, CO2 and CH4, into the raw material of the future. Its unique qualities as a Power-to-X technology make plasma processing a promising method to decarbonize energy-intensive industrial processes while creating sustainable products from greenhouse gases.
- Investigate the effects of pressure and temperature on plasma-driven reactions.
- Design and conduct experiments for CO2 conversion, CH4 pyrolysis, and their combined conversion to identify optimal process conditions.
- Explore, adapt, refine, and validate analytical methodologies for FTIR, GC, and OES.
- Develop and propose original research ideas within the project’s framework.
- Interact closely with other team members and labs at Empa as well as within the ETH Domain.
- Play a pivotal role in building a solid network with potential partners.
- Communicate the results via peer-reviewed journals, project reports, (inter)national conference presentations, industry meetings, and digital media.
- PhD degree in chemistry, physics, materials science, engineering or related field.
- Experience in plasma-based gas conversion, ideally using RF/MW discharges.
- Knowledge of plasma chemistry, modelling and/or chemical engineering is a plus.
- Highly motivated and inspired individual with a strong dedication to cutting-edge research for energy and environmental solutions.
- Self-driven curiosity and hands-on mentality in the lab.
- Creative scientist, open communicator, committed team player and responsible researcher with an ethical mindset.
