1 Postdoctoral Fellowship, Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences, Foundation of Research & Technology Hellas

The Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences, Foundation of Research and Technology -Hellas, (FORTH/ICE-HT) is seeking applicants for one postdoctoral position in the context of the research project “SElySOs, GA: 671481: Development of new electrode materials and understanding of degradation mechanisms on Solid Oxide High Temperature Electrolysis Cells”.

The project is implemented under the EU-Horizon 2020 Research Framework Programme and is financially supported by the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen 2 Joint Undertaking.

Job Description
To conduct research in the framework of the aforementioned project “SElySOs, GA: 671481”.

The aim of this research is to understand the degradation and lifetime fundamentals of the high (700 –9000C) temperature H2O electrolysis and to a certain extent for the H2O/CO2 co-electrolysis. The project is focusing on both of the Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell (SOEC) electrodes, for minimization of their degradation and improvement of their performance and stability mainly under high temperature H2O electrolysis for the production of H2 and to a certain extent under H2O/CO2 co-electrolysis conditions for the production of syngas (H2and CO).

Location: FORTH/ICE-HT, Patras, Greece
