Research Assistant - salary grade E13 TV-L Berliner Hochschulen

As part of the FNR joint project “Development of an efficient ammonia stripping process for biogas production from farm manure for digestate reduction and nitrogen removal (StripCompact II)”, a sub-project for validation and process optimisation is being carried out. To this end, an existing laboratory plant will be optimised and extensive experimental work will be carried out to identify optimum process parameters. These will then be tested at a real biogas plant in Lower Saxony at the demonstration plant being built in parallel. Both the construction and the operation of the demonstration plant will be carried out in close cooperation with the plant construction company and the biogas plant operator, with project coordination also being part of the task. PhD thesis preparation is possible.

• Successfully completed scientific university studies (Master, Diploma or equivalent) in Process or Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline
• Very good knowledge of process engineering, in particular biogas processes, fluid dynamics and mass transport processes in gas-liquid flows
• Manual skills
• Very good knowledge of German required

Desirable:

• Good knowledge of English
• Interest in experimental engineering research
• Experience with chemical analysis and measurement methods and programming experience (especially Python and LabView) are an advantage
• Teamwork and project coordination skills, willingness to travel, no fear of new challenges and working on a real biogas plant, as well as strong curiosity, creativity and ability to work independently are expected
