PhD Student Electrochemical CO₂-Capture (f/m/d)

Job description

Work environment The transformation to a climate-neutral industry requires new technologies that are efficient, scalable and durable. In the Group Innovation division at Volkswagen AG, we are therefore working on solutions that bring carbon capture and electrochemical CO₂ reduction into industrial applications. As part of this doctoral position, you will work on the characterization and lifetime prediction of ion exchange membranes – a key component of many electrochemical systems. The aim is to understand the aging mechanisms of these materials, to ensure their performance in the long term and thus to make an important contribution to the development of sustainable technologies. Become part of an interdisciplinary team at the interface of basic research and industrial application and actively shape the future of climate-friendly energy technologies. The place of work is the "Technology Center for Electric Traction" in Isenbüttel (near Wolfsburg). Possible Tasks within this Role: The final doctoral topic is defined together with the professor. The prerequisite for the cooperation is the confirmation of supervision as well as a confirmed delimitation of topics by the professor of a...
