The fixed-term employment is possible as it constitutes one of the fixed-term options of the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz (German Act on Fixed-term Scientific Contracts).

This is a full-time position.
The salary is based on the German public service salary scale (TV-L).
The position corresponds to a pay grade of EG 13 TV-L.

Unser Profil:

The Cluster of Excellence "The Fuel Science Center - Adaptive Conversion Systems for Renewable Energy and Carbon Sources" (FSC) generates fundamental knowledge as well as novel scientific methodologies to replace today's fossil fuel-based static scenario by adaptive production and propulsion systems that are based on renewable energy and carbon resources under dynamic system boundaries.

The fundamental research in FSC aims to integrate renewable electricity with the joint utilization of bio-based carbon feedstocks and CO2 to provide high-density liquid energy carriers ("bio-hybrid fuels"), which enable innovative engine concepts for highly efficient and clean combustion.

FSC capitalizes on achievements of the Cluster of Excellence "Tailor-Made Fuels from Biomass" to act as a structuring element at RWTH Aachen University and its partner institutions.

Together with the Forschungszentrum Jülich and the Max-Planck-Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion as well as the MPI für Kohlenforschung at the Campus Mühlheim, a world-class research environment will be established.

FSC strengthens disciplinary competences in natural sciences, engineering sciences and social sciences and converges them in a dynamic team science approach.

Ihr Profil:

University degree (Master or equivalent) in mechanical engineering with concentration on Thermodynamics/Fluid Dynamics disciplines is preferred
Pronounced knowledge in the field of internal combustion engines preferentially in combination with experience in synthetic fuels
Proficient computer and software skills (MS Office, Matlab/Simulink, INCA etc.)
Good English knowledge (written & spoken)
High degree of initiative, discipline and team spirit
Ability to work scientifically and independently

Ihre Aufgaben:

Development of a new highly efficient combustion system with neartozero pollutant emissions using carbonneutral fuels based on renewable ressources
Direct injection system development (i.e. digital rate shaping, alternative fuels)
Experimental work at combustion engines test benches with the focus on fuel efficiency and emission reduction
Accompanying analyses of the thermodynamic process by special measurement technologies and numerical simulations
