Descripción del empleo

CIC energiGUNE is seeking a predoctoral researcher to work on the optimization and scale-up of nanomaterial production using the cathodic corrosion method.

The research activity focuses on the cathodic corrosion method, an electrochemical process that enables the rapid, economical, efficient, and clean production of metallic and metal oxide nanomaterials.

The nanomaterials produced can be utilized in hydrogen production (thermal, electrochemical) and as cathodes in lithium/sodium batteries.

The main objective is to develop an automated system for the scale-up and continuous production of nanomaterials for various applications at CIC energiGUNE.

Main objectives :

1. Develop a scale-up reactor for nanomaterial production via the cathodic corrosion method.
2. Implement the reactor for synthesizing nanomaterials for thermal energy storage, conversion, batteries, and electrocatalysis.

Area : Electrochemical energy storage (EES)

Group : Electrochemical hydrogen technologies

WHAT WE OFFER :

• A 3-year predoctoral contract with potential for 1-year extension based on performance and funding.
• Access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and characterization platforms.
• Integration into a top European research center contributing significantly to energy and sustainability research.
• Opportunities for professional and personal development through seminars, conferences, and training.
• An international, multidisciplinary, and enthusiastic environment.

LIFE-BALANCE BENEFITS

• Flexible working hours and options for telework.
• Support with immigration formalities, accommodation, language courses, and administrative procedures.
