Background:

You are in an early phase of studies in environmental enginering, engineering sciences, chemical engineering, energy technology, geology, geophysics, environmental physics or any field with a general scientific / engineering background.

What motivates you:

This position requires interest in the field of carbon storage and strong motivation to counter climate change. You should be able to work into and understand new topics. You gradually want to improve your skills in literature research.

Your role and tasks:

This position is an oportunity for getting started and working into the field of carbon storage.

Your objective is to research and keep up to date and update our Team about carbon storage technologies, state of the art (such as empty gas depots, saline aquifers) as well as emerging (such as mineralisation within alkaline rock formations). You acquire information based on literature research and possibly also by contacting researchers in the field.

About Us: We are a non-profit registered association (Eingetragener Verein), focused entirely on research and providing valuable hands-on experience for students. Please note that this position is unpaid.
