Job offer from INM – Leibniz-Institute for New Materials – Doctoral Student (DC3)

INM – Leibniz-Institut fuer Neue Materialien GmbH

Campus D2 2

66123 Saarbruecken

The Innovative Electron Microscopy Department develops and applies electron microscopy methodologies for nanoscale and atomic-resolution characterization of functional materials and their interfaces, with specific focus on soft-hard interfaces. The Marie Sklodowska-Curie Doctoral Network “e-ChemIn: ElectroChemical Interfaces for energy conversion and storage: towards a carbon neutral society” is recruiting 15 Doctoral Candidates (DCs). The e-ChemIn network brings 12 academic and 6 industrial partners from 9 countries formed an international, interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral team. 15 Doctoral candidates will enjoy a multidisciplinary and international environment with plenty of training opportunities and exchange with all labs involved in the Network.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

MSCA-DN E-CHEMIN - DOCTORAL CANDIDATE (DC3): UNDERSTANDING ION ADSORPTION AND TRANSFER IN ELECTRODES ON THE NANOSCALE (F/M/D)

You will develop operando scanning TEM (STEM) and EELS approaches to characterize adsorption phenomena and the formation of the electric double layer with the highest spatial resolutions reported. You will use room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) as electrolytes and test their structuring in nanoconfined environments of different dimensionality (e.g., inside carbon nanotubes, 3D porous carbons), behavior under applied bias in confinement.

Spatially resolved data from STEM and EELS will be correlated with volumetric measurements from NMR and operando XPS, enabling direct observation, and quantification of charge storage mechanisms in electrode materials and processes of electrolyte degradation. In cooperation with DC5, who performs complementary atomistic simulations, you will work towards obtaining a comprehensive insights in the structure and dynamics at S-L interfaces at different states of charge.
