JOB DESCRIPTION:

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 is related to the cathodic corrosion method, which is an electrochemical method that allows producing metallic and metal oxide nanomaterials in a fast, economical, efficient and clean way.

The nanomaterials produced by this method can be implemented in the production of hydrogen thermally, electrochemically or in cathodes for lithium/sodium batteries.

The objective of the research activity is the development of an automated system for the scale-up and continuous production of nanomaterials for different applications at CIC energiGUNE.

Main objectives:

• Development of a scale-up reactor for the production of nanomaterials by the cathodic corrosion method.
• Implementation of the new reactor for the synthesis of nanomaterials for thermal energy storage and conversion, battery and electrocatalysis applications.

Area: Electrochemical energy storage (EES)

Group: Electrochemical hydrogen technologies

WHAT WE OFFER:

• We are offering a 3-year predoctoral contract and advantageous professional development opportunities with the possibility of 1 year extension based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds, and ongoing operational needs.
• Full access to cutting-edge laboratory facilities and characterization platforms.
• The incorporation to a top research center in Europe that makes high quality research and impactful contributions to the energy and sustainability fields.
• Professional and personal development: opportunity to attend seminars, international conferences, training courses, etc.
• Integrated, enthusiastic, international and multidisciplinary environment.

LIFE-BALANCE BENEFITS

• Flexible working hours promoting work-life balance and self-organization.
• On-site work model with the option to telework.
• A welcome program that offers help with
  • all immigration formalities that may be necessary
  • finding accommodation
  • free language courses (Spanish, English and Basque)
  • full assistance with administrative procedures, help with schools for children…

TO APPLY:
