Research Fellow – Water Electrolysis (Ref. 08.20.38)

Employer: International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL)

Location: Braga, Portugal

Number of Vacancies: 1

Group/Unit: Nanomaterials for Energy Storage and Conversion

Required Education: PhD Degree

Employment Type: Full time

Contract Duration: 30 months

Open Date for Applications: September 7th, 2020

Closing Date for Applications: October 6th, 2020

Organisation Description

The International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory – INL (https://www.inl.int) – is the first and only International Intergovernmental Organisation in the world entirely focused on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology.

It was founded under an international legal framework to perform interdisciplinary research, deploy and communicate nanotechnology for the benefit of society. INL aims to be a recognised leading global nanotechnology innovation hub.

Project Specifications: This project is funded by Programa Operacional Fatores de Competitividade (POFC)/Compete

Name of the project: Mobilizador Baterias 2030

Reference number: 14/SI/2019 - PROGRAMAS MOBILIZADORES

Introduction

INL is seeking a highly qualified and experienced Research Fellow in the area of electrocatalysis, to develop atomically dispersed catalysts for use in PEM and alkaline water electrolysis.

The Baterias 2030 project aims to demonstrate different energy storage technologies as a central element for urban sustainability. Converting renewable energy into storable and dispensable hydrogen fuel is one of major technologies to be developed in this project. In particular, new efficient electrocatalysts will be integrated and demonstrated in kW-scale electrolyzers, together with partners from academia and industry.

Job Role & Key Responsibilities

The Research Fellow will undertake the following main activities and responsibilities:

To synthesize atomically dispersed platinum group metal (PGM) and non-PGM catalysts;
To perform physicochemical characterization of prepared materials;
To assess the electrocatalytic performance of the catalysts synthesized;
To work on upscale synthesis of atomically dispersed catalysts;
To report experimental progress regularly and to publish the project results in scientific journals;
To disseminate the project results to different target groups;
Other lab maintenance/management/supervision tasks assigned by the Group Leader.
Job Requirements

Candidates should meet the following requirements:

Qualifications

PhD Degree in Materials Science and Engineering, Electrochemistry, Physical Chemistry, Solid State Physics, or any other relevant field.
Experience and Technical Skills

Have R&D experience in water electrolysis for at least 2 years but no more than 10 years after PhD;
Have several important publications in high-impact journals in the field and/or have one or more patents filed/granted on electrocatalysis;
Have hands-on experience in the synthesis and electrocatalytic performance of atomically dispersed catalysts;
Have hands-on experience in one or several of the following topics will be positively evaluated: noble metal nanoparticle synthesis, synthesis and design of metal organic frameworks (MOFs), upscale synthesis of nanomaterials (kilogram scale), membrane electrode assembly (MEA) fabrication, fabrication and design of water electrolyzers (stacks), DFT calculations.
Personal Skills

Strong motivation to work, both independently and as part of a team in an interdisciplinary environment;
Good communication skills;
“Hands-on” approach combined with a high commitment in respecting working deadlines;
