PhD Student - Electrochemical Swing Adsorption of Carbon Dioxide | PhD Student (f/m/d) - Electrochemical swing adsorption of carbon dioxide

Job Summary

This PhD position at the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS) focuses on the critical challenge of carbon capture through electrochemical swing adsorption. As a doctoral researcher, you will perform quantum mechanical and machine learning-based simulations to determine CO2 adsorption energies, utilizing self-consistent continuum solvation models. The role involves high-level computational work including Density Functional Theory (DFT) and electronic structure methods. You will collaborate closely with experimental project partners, publish findings in peer-reviewed academic journals, and present your research at scientific conferences. This position is particularly attractive for those seeking a structured PhD program within a vibrant, international research community. Based in Görlitz, the role offers a supportive work-life balance with flexible hours, mobile working options, and the benefits of the German public sector collective agreement (TVöD-Bund), including a company pension and extensive health management offerings.
