Research Associate (EG 13 TV-H) - Department of Plastics Technology

The position is limited until 31.12.2021 within the framework of the DFG third-party funded project "Aging of an electrochromic element, in particular the electrolyte layer " (§ 2 Abs. 2 WissZeitVG). The possibility of a doctorate is given. Here, questions regarding the production and subsequent testing of the electrolyte, as well as the electrochromic system are to be answered.

Tasks:

As a research associate in the Plastics Engineering group at the Institute of Materials Engineering at the University of Kassel, you will work on application and basic research-oriented issues in plastics engineering in a young, innovative working environment with above-average laboratory equipment as part of the externally funded project "Aging of an electrochromic element, in particular the electrolyte layer". Furthermore, test methods shall be further developed to find out material properties of elastomers, especially polyurethane, under the influence of (artificial) aging.

Requirements:

You have an above-average scientific university degree in one of the following fields:

• • Materials/ Materials Science
  • mechanical engineering/ plastics technology

You are characterized by a very strong interest in scientific issues in plastics technology and bring a high degree of motivation and initiative. A convincing and confident appearance as well as a good command of written and spoken English are required.

Advantageous are:

• Knowledge in the field of electrochromics, material development with polyurethanes, as well as characterization of material properties (especially elastomers)
• thorough and independent way of working
• a high degree of organizational skills
