Requirements:
The successful candidate will have a strong interdisciplinary background in the chemistry and physics of materials including synthesis and characterization. Experience in sol-gel or polymer chemistry and templated materials is required along with a good understanding of adsorption processes as well as heat and mass transport in porous materials. Familiarity with nanotechnology and -patterning, self-assembly and electronic packaging concepts is beneficial. The materials development effort will support research in the field of water sorbents for adsorption cooling and self-assembly strategies for thermal contact enhancement. The planned tasks span a wide range from applied materials research to the development of demonstrators. We are seeking highly motivated individuals who are interested to join our multi-disciplinary research team to advance thermal management techniques for sustainable energy technologies and energyefficient datacenters.
