Full Time, fixed term for 24 Months
Join us and be part of a vibrant community at Loughborough University.
Here’s more about the role and what we’re looking for:
We are looking for an engineer or scientist with proven experience in the development and innovation of electrochemical devices such electrolysers, fuel cells and flow batteries. In this role you will develop electrolysers and fuel cells suitable for integration with intermittent renewable energy sources. The focus of the role is to advance the efficiency and durability of scalable electrolyser and fuel cell prototypes with a focus on non-critical materials. This includes conceptualising, implementing and characterising effects of novel cell architectures and components for electrochemical reactions in predominantly alkaline conditions.
Key Requirements:
1. Extensive and proven experience in development and innovation of electrochemical devices such electrolysers, fuel cells and flow batteries in a research and/or industrial setting
2. Strong knowledge of electrochemical testing methodologies, analytical techniques, performance and stability evaluation.
3. Proven track record of rigorous research including scientific publications in peer reviewed journal papers and conference presentations or at least one patent filed on electrochemical devices
4. Hands on experience in at least two of the following membrane assembly fabrication, design and construction of cells and stacks, long term and /accelerated stress testing
