The successful applicant will be responsible for implementing, testing, and operating a stable photoelectrochemical device and for testing degradation of PEC material systems. Some of these tests involve operation and working with high flux solar light. We encourage applicants with an experimental background, experience in (photo)electrochemical characterization techniques, corrosion science, and a holistic view on photoelectrochemical processes and devices.
Additionally, background in heat, mass, and charge transfer (especially radiation), fluid flow, semiconductor physics, and chemistry are required for the project. Experience with computational approaches, numerical methods, and programming are beneficial for the application.
Ideal applicants are expected to have completed their doctorate at the start of the appointment. The ability to work within a collaborative environment, good communication and organizational skills, and scientific initiative are paramount. Additionally, we expect a candidate that
- is independent, creative, and solution-oriented
- has excellent written and oral communication skills in English
- has strong motivation to explore new research domains
- has good team spirit and contributes to general laboratory activities
- and contributes to a safe, clean and effective experimental lab
