Job Description Alkaline electrolysis (AEL) based on low temperature electrolysis is the leading technology in the field of hydrogen production. To champion its technological key advantages, it is indispensable to further strengthen the fundamental understanding of the interplay between the adjacent components and related cross-function. Electrochemical engineering of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) represents the key to enable advanced AEL systems. You will work on evaluating structure-property relationships of electrodes, porous transport layers, and diaphragms as well as on electrochemical characterization at the single cell level. Also, you will adapt existing models. Furthermore, you will plan test campaigns, produce your own active layers, and identify their interplay with adjacent MEA components in single cells. Work with us to shape our understanding of key component function in the field of disruptive hydrogen technologies. Use experiments for performance governing design parameters to shape the next generation of AEL components. Make active use of the available expertise in our internal research team and our broad academic network. You will take responsibility by systematically planning and conducting operando, in-situ, and ex-situ experiments. Last but not least, you will support the work of our internal, interdisciplinary, and international research team, and publish your results in renowned journals.
