Would you like to join us in addressing this major future challenge? Then this is your place!

Join the Emissions & Air Quality group at the DLR Institute of Combustion Technology (VT). The position is based in the Chemical Kinetics and Analysis (CKA) department

 

What to expect

  • systematic recording and analysis of emissions under real conditions, with a focus on ultrafine particles (UFP) and gaseous emissions
  • investigation of influencing factors such as fuel composition, combustion technology, material properties, and operating parameters
  • combination of experimental work with sound data evaluation and assumption of project responsibility
  • research focus on chemical kinetics, analytics, and emission formation, especially for alternative and synthetic fuels
  • special analysis of non-exhaust emissions, in particular metrological recording and evaluation of tire abrasion particles

 

Your tasks

  • planning, implementation, and scientific analysis of emission measurements with a focus on UFP and gaseous components
  • investigation of combustion and non-exhaust emissions (e. g., from brake and tire wear)
  • evaluation of extensive data sets – including validation, interpretation, and preparation of results
  • development and application of analytical methods
  • practical project work: setting up, operating, and supporting measurement systems and campaigns
  • support and technical involvement in research projects – from conception to implementation and presentation of results

 

Your profile

  • extensive experience in combustion, aerosol, or emissions research, particularly in the field of exhaust gas, particle, or gas measurement technology
  • extensive knowledge of particle measurement techniques
  • experience in the field of particle measurements and/or abrasion
  • extensive experience in measurement data acquisition and evaluation
  • experience in the preparation, presentation, and scientific utilization of research results
  • experience in project coordination and acquisition
  • very good communication skills (German and English) in writing and speaking
