About this position

The chemical industry faces a transition to a sustainable future using renewable energy as well as biological and circular feed stocks to reach these future goals. We are developing plasma reactors and processes for the chemical industry as enabling technology to meet the climate goals.

What will be your role?

During your internship, you are responsible for the preparation and execution of methane conversion experiments with a 1 kW high frequency arc discharge system under a variety of electrical, geometry and gas conditions. You are expected to process and present your own data, and discuss those with scientific researchers and project leaders. You also provide support in formulating research questions or a research design. You are able to organize your work well and have a critical attitude with respect to evaluation of results. You report results and conclusions in a transparent and insightful way.

Like you, your colleagues are driven to develop innovative yet pragmatic solutions to increase the performance and reduce the cost of plasma technology. You will be part of a multi-disciplinary, multi-national team that is full of ambition. There is plenty of room within it to try out different activities and to indicate your preferences. Together we will find the ideal job package for you!

What we expect from you

You feel comfortable working closely with scientists, engineers and business development colleagues, all of whom are experts in plasma or chemical technology. Together, you will identify challenges and potential technological solutions.
