Postdoc PEMFC

Mission

We are offering a position as postdoctoral researcher in the Group of Energy Materials at EPFL, Sion. Our highly interdisciplinary Lab (20 FTE, 1/3rd PhD students, 1/3rd postdocs, 1/3rd engineers) is part of the EPFL Mechanical Engineering Institute and specialised since 30 years in fuel cell and electrolysers, both high temperature (>600°C, solid oxide ceramics) and low temperature (<100 °C, protonic and anionic exchange membrane polymers). Our fully equipped diagnostics lab mounts and investigates fuel cells / electrolysers, from components and single cells up to stacks and systems (1 – 50 kW), testing durability/performance and identifying degradation phenomena. Experimental work is assisted by modeling and simulation on different levels.

We are specifically looking for a postdoctoral researcher with experience (a PhD) in PEMFC modeling (cell/stack/system) and experimental testing and characterisation on cell and stack level. The wor...
