hace 2 semanas
CIC energiGUNE is a research center specialized in energy, electrochemical storage (batteries and supercapacitors), thermal energy solutions and hydrogen, a member of the Basque Research and Technology Alliance
- BRTA, and a strategic initiative of the Basque Government. CIC energiGUNE was created in 2011 to generate excellent knowledge and at the same time useful for the Basque business network, being a reference in knowledge transfer.
CIC energiGUNE has a dynamic research team of more than 100 researchers and is extremely well equipped with a wide range of up-to-date facilities that are fully available for all its researchers. Also, the European Commission has recently awarded CIC energiGUNE with the 'HR Excellence in Research' which reflects its commitment to achieving fair and transparent recruitment and appraisal procedures and certifies the existence of a stimulating and favorable work environment for researchers in the institution.
Besides, artificial SEI layers will be fabricated by **magnetron sputtering** and their effectiveness investigated by OpXPS and electrochemical methods. This position offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to pioneering research aimed at improving battery performance and stability through advanced interface engineering, while developing beyond-state-of-the-art techniques to access interfacial phenomena difficult to probe by conventional methods.
**Main job functions**:
- Optimize and develop new approaches of Operando XPS analysis to study the SEI formation and evolution on solid-state battery interfaces
- Develop and optimize new artificial SEI layer concepts by magnetron sputtering
- Conduct electrochemical tests on cells with bare and engineered interfaces
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to integrate findings into battery design and performance improvement
- Publish research results in high-impact journals and present at international conferences
We are offering a 3-year predoctoral contract and advantageous professional development opportunities with the possibility of 1 year extension based upon satisfactory job performance, continuing availability of funds, and ongoing operational needs. Flexible working hours promoting work-life balance and self-organization. On-site work model with the option to telework. Professional and personal development: opportunity to attend seminars, international conferences, training courses, etc. Integrated, enthusiastic, international and multidisciplinary environment.
