Growth continues at Brainergy Park in Jülich: The Institute for Sustainable Hydrogen Economy at Forschungszentrum Jülich, which forms the core of the HC-H2 cluster, is looking for new recruits. We are particularly interested in researchers who want to work with us to harness the potential of hydrogen for the climate-friendly energy system of the future. We offer positions for master’s theses as well as several positions for doctoral candidates. We are also looking for postdocs, research assistants and other experts.
