Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

The German Aerospace Center (DLR) is the national aeronautics and space research centre and the space agency of the Federal Republic of Germany. Here, 8700 employees work together on a unique variety of topics in the fields of aeronautics, space, energy, transport, security and digitalisation. Their missions range from basic research to the development of innovative applications and products for tomorrow. Cutting-edge research requires excellent minds – particularly more females – at all levels, who fully achieve their potential in an inspiring environment. Launch your mission with us.
For our Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics at the Helmholtz-Institute in Ulm we are looking for a
Physicist, MathematicianPost-Doc position: Modeling of metal-sulfur batteries
Your mission:
DLR's Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics conducts research in the field of efficient energy storage systems and next-generation energy conversion technologies. The department of Computational Electrochemistry is developing new theories and simulation tools for batteries and fuel cells. At the interface of fundamentals and application our interdisciplinary team investigates physico-chemical relationships with the aim of further improving electrochemical technologies for electromobility and stationary energy storage. We participate in the Cluster of Excellence POLiS for Post-Lithium Systems and offer you access to excellent cutting-edge research, space for your own ideas and contact to national as well as international partners in academia and industry.
Metal-sulfur batteries based on lithium or magnesium offer a particularly high theoretical energy density. In order to exploit this potential, a better understanding of the transport and reaction processes in the pore network is required. Therefore, improved continuum models will be developed and implemented describing the processes from microporous materials to macroporous electrodes. In particular, the Lattice-Boltzmann-method for pore-scale simulations will be further developed.
