Your Job:
At IEK-9, we are developing exciting interdisciplinary methods to investigate the key mechanisms in batteries and electrolysis using pulsed NMR. By understanding the spin states that have to be experimentally prepared we are tailoring magnetic pulses to push the limits of NMR in operando experiments, probing for example interfaces or membranes. For an optimized workflow, a detailed characterization of these pulses is highly useful. The project focuses on the implementation and testing of a state-of-the-art spectrogram pulse analysis method. Your tasks include:
1. Porting a state-of-the-art spectrogram module for pulse sequence analysis from Matlab to Python
2. Testing the spectrogram module on several published pulse sequences
3. Exchange with experimental NMR spectroscopists
4. Investigating how electrochemical NMR setups may influence spin state preparation using spectrograms
Your Profile:
5. Ongoing master studies in chemistry, physics, data science, computer science or a related field
6. Knowledge on the fundamentals of NMR spectroscopy required
7. Experience in Python programming required
8. Expertise on the fundamentals of electrochemistry and spin dynamics desirable
9. Interest in interdisciplinary research projects and the ability to work in a cooperative manner
10. Ability to show initiative and work independently in a structured, organized way
11. Fluent command of written and spoken English
Our Offer:
We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change! We support you in your work with:
12. An interesting and socially relevant topic for your thesis with future-oriented themes
13. Ideal conditions for gaining practical experience alongside your studies
14. An interdisciplinary collaboration on projects in an international, committed and collegial team
15. Excellent technical equipment and the newest technology
16. Qualified support through your scientific colleagues
17. The chance to independently prepare and work on your tasks
18. A large research campus with green spaces, offering the best possible means for networking with colleagues and pursuing sports alongside work
19. Flexible working hours as well as a reasonable remuneration
20. Flexible work (location) arrangements, remote work
