Postdoctoral Position on Integrated Multiphysics Modelling of Alkaline and PEM Electrolyser Cells and Stacks
Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
| Criteria | Details |
|---|---|
| Hours | 38 – 40 hr. |
| Salary Indication | Salary gross/monthly based on full-time € 4,020 – € 5,278 |
| Deadline | 31 October 2024 |
Research Area: The position involves the development of integrated multiscale multiphysics models of AEL and PEMEL cells and stacks.
Location: University of Twente, Netherlands
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Ph.D. in chemical engineering, chemistry, applied physics, or a related field
- Strong track record and experience in physics-based modelling of AEL and PEMEL cells and stacks
- Experience in coding in C++/Python/Julia
- Proficiency in English
Job Description:
The successful candidate will be responsible for developing integrated multiscale multiphysics models of AEL and PEMEL cells and stacks. This involves leveraging a hierarchical modelling methodology developed previously for SOEL to couple mass, charge, and energy transport phenomena across the cell and stack to relevant heterogeneous electrochemical reactions at the electrode-electrolyte interfaces. Additionally, the candidate will be required to validate the models, create multidimensional datasets, and compare the cell and stack models to long-term AEL and PEMEL cell and stack measurements to identify degradation modes and parameters.
How to Apply:
Interested candidates should apply online by uploading a CV and a motivation letter and/or list of publications. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for interviews, which will include a scientific presentation followed by discussion. For more information about the position, candidates can contact Dr. Aayan Banerjee (a.banerjee@utwente.nl).
