[NMR] Associate Research Engineer position at BASF (Ludwigshafen/Germany)



Dear colleague,


BASF has an opening for an Associate Research Engineer at the interface of Solid-State NMR and Surface Spectroscopy.


The position will be associated with Dr. Sabine Hirth (Surface Analytics by XPS and ToF-SIMS) and Dr. Karsten Seidel (Solid-State NMR). We are two teams in the Structures & Surfaces group at BASF’s Department of Material Physics & Analytics. We are part of a central research platform which serves the entire BASF community. The new team member shall strengthen our efforts in the characterization of inorganic materials, in particular battery materials, as well as other complex materials, using multi-method approaches in both labs and beyond.


Please note: this position aims at a permanent lab-based employment, and is typically addressing scientists with a Master’s degree (or Bachelor’s degree + job experience). PhD graduates may want to apply for “Research Scientist” or “Laborleiter” positions on careers.basf.com.


Having a good command of the German language is not a prerequisite, and actually, scientific reporting at BASF is preferably done in English. However, it is generally very helpful to know or quickly learn German. In fact, the job posting is currently available only in German:
