Req ID: 4327 • Place of work: Köln • Starting date: • Career level: Student research project and final thesis • Type of employment: Part time • Duration of contract: 6 Monate

Remuneration: Remuneration is in accordance with the Collective Agreement for the Public Sector - Federal Government (TVöD-Bund)

Enter the fascinating world of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e. V.; DLR) and help shape the future through research and innovation. We offer an exciting and inspiring working environment driven by the expertise and curiosity of our 12,000 employees from 100 nations and our unique infrastructure. Together, we develop sustainable technologies and thus contribute to finding solutions to global challenges. Would you like to join us in addressing this major future challenge? Then this is your place!

The Institute of Future Fuels contributes to making renewable resources available and thus replacing fossil resources. We develop solutions for how hydrogen and fuels can be produced cost-effectively on an industrial scale from the raw materials water, CO2, and nitrogen using renewable energies.

What to expect

Thermochemical cycles offer a promising opportunity to produce cost-effective, climate-neutral fuels from solar energy. Concentrated solar radiation is used to heat a metal oxide to high temperatures, causing it to release oxygen. In a second process step, the material can then be used to split water or carbon dioxide, producing hydrogen or synthesis gas. At the high temperatures typical for this process, the optical properties of the material are particularly relevant for heat transport. Porous structures with a complex macrostructure pose a particular challenge here.

Your tasks

literature research on the state-of-the-art
digital representation of porous structures
optical and thermal simulation of porous structures
model-based interpretation of thermographic images

Your profile

current master’s programme in computational engineering, physics, materials science, engineering or similar
initial experience with optical and thermal simulations (e.g. ray tracing)
initial experience in creating data-driven models
programming skills, e.g. in Python for data analysis
creative problem-solving skills
independent and structured way of working
good communication and presentation skills in English and German

Depending on qualifications and the tasks assigned, remuneration will be up to pay group 5 TVöD.

We offer

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.

We look forward to getting to know you!
