Unlock the Future of Green Hydrogen Production
Join our research team as we work towards developing a low-cost and robust proton-exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer stack.
* We are seeking an exceptional PhD candidate to identify and understand the degradation mechanisms in PEM electrolyzers under industrially relevant operating conditions.
This project involves creating novel methods for characterizing fuel cell and electrolyzer sub-scale cells, using electrochemical analytical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in electrochemistry and electrochemical reactors, with hands-on experience in characterization and testing.
You will be part of a dynamic research team that values collaboration, innovation, and excellence. As a PhD researcher, you will have the opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research, collaborate with international experts, and publish your findings in top-tier scientific journals.
In this role, you will also enjoy a range of benefits, including flexible working arrangements, access to state-of-the-art research facilities, and opportunities for professional development.
To succeed in this position, you should have:
* An excellent Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, or a related field;
* A solid background in electrochemistry and electrochemical reactors, including hands-on experience with characterization and testing;
* Excellent programming skills, preferably in Python, and experience with simulation tools or numerical optimization approaches;
* Strong communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to present complex technical information effectively;
* Fluency in English; knowledge of German is a plus but not required.
If you are passionate about contributing to sustainable energy solutions and want to make a meaningful impact, we encourage you to apply.
