Vacancy No. 06/2025
mineralogist or geochemist or geoscientist or chemist or physicist /f/m/d)
75% part time
The main goal of the work is to develop an electrostatic surface complexation model for Na-montmorillonite for the numerical simulation of the surface charging- and Cs-adsorption behavior as a function of pH, Cs-concentration and temperature.
The work is carried out as part of a German-French collaboration.
Job description
- The work includes laboratory work to collect experimental data for model calibration and model development.
- The surface complexation model is programmed in a Python environment using the finite element method.
- The surface mobility of the ions is characterized using diffusion experiments.
- Finally, the surface complexation model is to be integrated into a pore-scale diffusion and surface polarization model in collaboration with project partners.
Personal qualification
- completed university degree (Master) in mineralogy, geochemistry, chemistry, physics, geosciences, or a related discipline
- experience in working in a chemistry laboratory
- solid knowledge of computer programming (preferably Python)
- excellent English skills, written and spoken
- knowledge of German is desirable, knowledge of French is helpful
- openness and extraordinary motivation to learn and apply new methods and innovative concepts and to work in an international team with doctoral students and scientists.
