Postdoctoral Researcher in Photoelectrochemistry — EPFL
Role overview
The Renewable Energy Science and Engineering Laboratory (http://lrese.epfl.ch/) at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has a post-doctoral position in the field of degradation modeling in photo-eletrochemical systems and devices. The project is part of the synergy project of LRESE DegPEC – Mechanisms of degradation in photoeletrochemical devices. The objective of the sub-project is to characterize the material systems and their degradation, develop and build stable prototypes of devices for the production of photo-eletrochemical solar fuels and interact closely with and support computational activities on the same subject.
- Work and collaborate in a research project on degradation of materials and photo-eletrochemical devices - Analysis and publication of results - Building a solid network in the field of research - Participating in training, supervision of doctoral students and master students - Support project management activities with three partners
The selected candidate will be responsible for the implementation, testing and operation of a stable photoeletrochemical device and testing of the degradation of PEC material systems. Some of these tests include operation and work with high flow solar light. We encourage candidates with experimental training, experience in electrochemical characterization techniques, corrosion science and holistic vision of photo-eletrochemical processes and devices.
