Reference number REF 2024-0206
Are you ready to be at the forefront of a groundbreaking transition towards a greener future? Imagine being part of a team that is spearheading research in high-temperature electrolysis, the most efficient technique for producing the vast amounts of hydrogen needed to decarbonize hard to abate sectors. If you're passionate about making a tangible impact on the world, apply to become a Ph.D. researcher in our dynamic team that is leading in the field of metallic materials for Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOEC).

Information about the division and the department

About us: To meet the challenges of tomorrow's energy demands, we are dedicated to exploring materials for a wide array of energy applications at the
within the
. One of our focus areas is to design materials capable of withstanding aggressive high temperature process environments.

About the position

Materials performance stands as a crucial barrier inhibiting the transition towards sustainability in energy systems. Join us as we tackle this challenge head-on, with exciting Ph.D. opportunities available for 1-2 ambitious students.

Metallic interconnects for Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOEC) are a major lifetime limiting factor in today’s SOEC. Together with our partners we develop alloys and coatings to extend the lifespan of the interconnect aiming at unlocking the full potential of this highly promising technology.

Your Impact
: As a member of our team, you'll be part of an international project funded by the Nordic Grand Solutions program, collaborating with global leaders in the field. Your contributions won't just earn you a Ph.D. degree; but you will also contribute to the grand challenge of the energy transition we have ahead of us.

Why Chalmers
? Join an international research environment in the heart of Scandinavia. At Chalmers, enjoy a supportive work environment and the benefits offered, including a competitive salary, at least 28 days of financed vacation, parental leave and health insurance. Your employment is secure for up to five years, providing stability as you embark on your PhD journey.

Major responsibilities

As a PhD student, you will conduct individual research and contribute to as well as benefit from collaborative efforts with our project team and industry partners. Expect hands-on laboratory work, where you'll conceive, develop, and implement your ideas. We prioritize linking laboratory experiments with real-world applications. To delve into material behaviors, we utilize cutting-edge microscopy techniques including Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) using high-resolution FEG-SEMs equipped with Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Electron Backscattered Diffraction (EBSD) detectors.

Qualifications

To be eligible for the PhD position, you must hold a master's level degree (or equivalent) preferably in chemistry, materials science, physics or mechanical engineering. Beyond that, you should have a genuine interest in science and a robust motivation to engage in research.

Essential for thriving in our collaborative environment are furthermore strong communication and teamwork skills. If you are a self-driven individual and like to engage in discussions to optimize experimental setups, to coordinate post-analysis activities with various partners, and to effectively communicate your findings at conferences, project meetings and in scientific articles, you are the perfect fit for our team.

Contract terms

Full-time temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of five years.
The PhD position usually includes around 10% departmental work, primarily involving teaching of undergraduate students in labs or exercises. The starting date for this position is flexible.
