Aalto University School of Chemical Technology invites applications for:
PhD level position in the field of electrochemical energy storage (redox flow batteries)
The position is located in the Department of Chemistry and Materials Science, Espoo, Finland, and funded by the Academy of Finland.
Job description
This project develops novel aqueous redox flow battery technologies employing redox solid materials to enhance the energy storage density. The aim is to develop inexpensive and safe solutions for large scale energy storage, as well as developing new techniques for understanding how the materials work and why do they fail. This improved understanding will help to improve the battery performance and stability.
The project includes synthesis and testing of the active materials as well as development of operando measurement techniques for the system. The work will be a mixture of electrochemistry, flow battery research, in situ spectroscopy and materials synthesis.
Aalto University is a community of bold thinkers where science and art meet technology and business. We are committed to identifying and solving grand societal challenges and building an innovative future. Aalto University has six schools with nearly 20 000 students and more than 400 professors. Our campuses are located in Espoo and Helsinki, Finland.
Requirements
Successful candidates must hold an excellent M.Sc. degree (or an equivalent) in Chemistry, Material Science, Physics or related field at the time of the contract commencement.
The ideal candidate has hands on experience in advanced synthesis and structural characterization techniques (TEM, SEM, Raman, XRD, etc.), but this is not a strict requirement. Good knowledge on electrochemistry is an advantage, and good command of English is a necessary prerequisite.
Salary
Aalto University follows the new salary system of Finnish universities.
