Trainee Synthesis and Processing of Inorganic Oxide- Materials

Trainee for Synthesis and Processing of Inorganic Oxide-based Materials

The Internship is focused on the synthesis and advanced characterization of inorganic oxide-based materials within the Laboratory for Energy Technologies & Innovation. The role is experimental, covering the complete ceramic processing chain and material science.

• Carry out synthesis of inorganic oxide materials using specialized equipment (Flame Spray Pyrolysis FSP reactors).
• Manage the full processing cycle, including wet chemistry, powder processing, and shaping techniques (mixing, drying, pellet pressing) to meet industrial specifications.
• Execute thermal treatments to ensure material stability and phase purity.
• Perform systematic structural and morphological analyses via XRD, SEM, BET and other characterization techniques.
• Document experimental procedures and results with precision.

• Student in Materials Science, Inorganic Chemistry, Ceramic Engineering, or related field, in the final year of undergraduate study (minimum 4 semesters).
• Experience in solid‑state chemistry and inorganic synthesis.
• Basic experience in wet chemistry or ceramic processing; prior pelletizing, shaping or sol‑gel chemistry is advantageous.
• Analytical mindset and familiarity with XRD, SEM, BET.
• Has not yet completed Master’s thesis.
• Proficient in English for documentation and collaboration.

• Duration: 3 to 6 months.
• International research environment with industrial‑scale projects.
• Hands‑on experience and high‑level expertise in materials characterization.
