挪威科技大學2023年招聘博士后（電化學系統(tǒng)數學建模）
挪威科技大學（挪威文：Norges teknisk-naturvitenskapelige universitet，NTNU），是挪威全國最頂尖的工程與技術中心，座落于南特倫德拉格郡特隆赫姆，為北歐五校聯(lián)盟成員。挪威科技大學最早歷史可以追溯到1760年成立的特隆赫姆學會，該學會于1767年受到挪威皇室的認可，進而改名為挪威皇家理工學院（NTH），1996年，挪威理工學院與特隆赫姆藝術科學學院、自然歷史和考古博物館合并，組成挪威科技大學。依據挪威教育與研究部施行的公立大學合并計劃，2016年挪威科技大學與約維克大學學院（Høgskolen i Gjøvik）及奧勒松大學學院（Høgskolen i Ålesund）合并成為新的挪威科技大學。

About the job
We have a vacancy for a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering.
The postdoctoral fellowship position is a temporary position where the main goal is to qualify for work in senior academic positions.
The position is affiliated with the MODELYS project funded by the Research Council of Norway and European industry. Project partners include SINTEF, the University of Oslo, the Danish Technical University (DTU Energy), and NTNU. The project will develop new knowledge on improvements and limitations of electrolyser cells and stacks, and provide design and decision support tools for enabling the realization and integration stacks in GW-plants. The overall aim of the MODELYS project is to generate a roadmap for the realisation of GW plants at a cost less than 歐元350/kW, to be able to produce green hydrogen at a competitive price in 2030. To ensure a successful outcome, the MODELYS team includes both experimentalists and theorists. The Postdoctoral Fellow will work on the mathematical modeling of water electroclysis processes in close collaboration with experimentalists. The work will in particular contribute to the understanding of degradation processes and the dependence of lifetime on operation modes (start-stop cycles, integration with renewables, fluctuating loads etc.) and electrolyser technology.
The post doctoral fellow will have results of advanced electrochemical and other characterisation methods at her disposal, including in operando effluent analysis and tomography.
Duties of the position
Mathematical modeling of coupled electrode and transport processes in water electrolysis
Development of dynamic continuum models for porous electrodes and gas- evolution at such electrodes under alkaline (AEM) and acidic (PEM) conditions
Development of models for degradation, emphasizing degradation in catalytic layers
Interact with experimentalists and contribute to the planning of experimental activites aiming at model validation
Data analysis and contribute to the establishment of high-quality data sets
Communicate with industry and the research community
Scientific and technical reporting through regular dissemination channels, public dissemination through social media and other channels, and participation in international conferences.
Required selection criteria
You must have completed a Norwegian doctoral degree or corresponding foreign doctoral degree recognized as equivalent to a Norwegian PhD. If you can document that the PhD thesis has been submitted, your application can be assessed even if you have not yet defended your dissertation. Documentation of the obtained doctoral degree must be presented before you can take up the position.
You must have a professionally relevant background in electrochemistry and mathematical modeling of electrochemical systems.
Fluent in written and oral English.
The appointment is to be made in accordance with Regulations on terms of employment for positions such as postdoctoral fellow, Ph.D Candidate, research assistant and specialist candidate.
