Start of employment as soon as possible
Application deadline October 12th, 2024
Scope full time and for a maximum of 36 months


The Institute of Chemical Reaction Engineering investigates how solid catalysts change their structure and their reactivity in catalytic reactors as function of space and time. Goal is to understand catalyst dynamics in industrial reactors and how these changes influence reaction kinetics, reactant conversion, product selectivity and yield. This knowledge can then be used to optimize existing catalytic processes or to develop new catalytic processes which are based on renewable energy and renewable resources.


In a German-American research project jointly funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the USA and the German Research Foundation (DFG), a sustainable synthesis pathway of the important chemical intermediate acrolein based on the oxidative coupling of methanol and ethanol on complex mixed metal oxide catalysts will be investigated. Focus of the research work at TUHH is on kinetic measurements in catalytic reactors and operando-characterization of the catalyst inside the reactor using Infrared Spectroscopy, Raman Spectroscopy and X-Ray Diffraction.

At the heart of TU Hamburg’s research, teaching and transfer of technology is the guiding principle of developing technology for people. The TU Hamburg sees itself in this context as a family-friendly and sustainable university with high performance and quality standards that strives for excellence in all its research fields. Interdisciplinarity, innovation, regionality and internationality are binding principles in our actions.


With currently around 8.000 students, 110 professors and 1.650 employees, the TU Hamburg is characterised by short decision-making processes and close cooperation between the board, the institutes, the deans of studies, the research areas and the administration. We identify ourselves with a modern leadership culture and cultivate appreciative interaction.

Institute of Chemical Reaction Engineering
Remuneration EGR. 13 TV-L
Start of employment as soon as possible
Application deadline October 12th 2024
Scope full time and for a maximum of 48 months


The Institute of Chemical Reaction Engineering investigates how solid catalysts change their structure and their reactivity in catalytic reactors as function of space and time.


Goal is to understand catalyst dynamics in industrial reactors and how these changes influence reaction kinetics, reactant conversion, product selectivity and yield. Within the framework of a PhD project, the novel method of iso-potential spectroscopy should be developed further with applications to the following spectroscopic methods:
i) Infrared Spectroscopy
ii) Raman-Spectroscopy
iii) Powder X-Ray Diffraction.


The method of iso-potential spectroscopy combines a spectroscopic measurement cell with a catalytic reactor in such a way, that the catalyst inside the measurement cell is exposed to the same chemical potential as the catalyst locally in the reactor. It is hypothesized that the catalyst inside the spectroscopic cell takes on the same structure and surface adsorbates as the catalyst inside the catalytic reactor. If this holds true, spectroscopic methods can be applied to catalytic reactors of arbitrary size and shape, which are otherwise inaccessible to spectroscopic measurements.


We are looking for a PhD student with an interest in heterogeneous catalysis, catalytic reactors, kinetics and spectroscopy. Prior knowledge in one or several of these fields is a plus but not a requirement.

Design, construction and assembly of measurement cells for above mentioned spectroscopic methods
Coupling of the measurement cells with a catalytic profile reactor according to the method of iso-potential spectroscopy
Automation of the setup
Conducting measurements on suitable test reactions and data analysis
Publication of the research results in peer-reviewed journals and at national and international conferences
Requirements



Completed scientific university studies, in particular in disciplines as chemistry, physics, material science, chemical engineering or process engineering


Required knowledge and personal skills



Knowledge in the field of heterogeneous catalysis, chemical kinetics, online gas analysis, IR and Raman spectroscopy, XRD
Strong interest in scientific work and motivation to work independently and goal-oriented on fundamental research quest
Teamwork ability, cooperation, high flexibility, commitment and resilience, independent, self-propelled and responsible work
Creativity and skills in the conception, construction and development of experimental setups
Willingness to participate in university teaching

Outside of duties, further scientific training is possible, the results can be used for a dissertation
