Key facts

You will work in a dynamic team of students and engineers.
Your tasks will initially include a literature review and familiarization with the fundamentals of reaction engineering and process engineering.
You will familiarize yourself with the MATLAB software and the existing reactor model.
You will model various operating strategies for dynamic methanol synthesis.
You will evaluate the investigated processes based on your simulation results.
Optionally, you will also consider economic aspects.
You will present your results within our group and optionally summarize them in your thesis.

You are studying process engineering, chemical engineering, or a comparable field.
You have knowledge of process engineering, ideally in thermodynamics and reaction engineering.
Experience with the simulation of process engineering processes is an advantage but not strictly required.
You work independently and with commitment.
Routine use of Microsoft Office is a given for you.
You can express yourself confidently in German or English.

Exclusive insights: By working together with the scientists in our department, you will gain insights into the day-to-day research and development work at a research institute.
Laboratory infrastructure: At Fraunhofer ISE, we work with state-of-the-art equipment and devices so that research projects can be carried out using the latest technology.
Research mix: You will have the opportunity to combine experimental work with theory, thus applying and expanding the knowledge you gained during your studies.
Supervision: You will be supervised by scientists during your work and receive feedback on your progress.
Teamwork: You will gain experience in working in a team with our scientific and student staff and can contribute the experience you have already gained.
Working hours and location: We offer you the opportunity to flexibly adjust your working hours to your needs and to occasionally work from home.
Equal opportunities: We value equal opportunities and embrace diversity.
After work: Celebrate yourself and your colleagues at after-work events or our annual employee parties.
