VitoriaGasteiz, España CIC energiGUNE A tiempo completo

**DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTITUTION**:
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 (2019) 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.

**PROJECT DESCRIPTION**:
CIC energiGUNE is seeking for a person interested in pursuing a PhD in physicochemical phenomena of wetting-drying (intrusion-extrusion) of nanoporous materials with non-wetting liquids. The fundamental questions targeted in this project are motivated by the applicability of intrusion-extrusion process to thermomechanical-to-electrical energy conversion [1, 2], thermal actuation [3], sensing [4], negative compressibility [4-6], negative thermal expansion [7] and column chromatography.

**JOB FUNCTIONS**:

- Performing high-quality research within the scope of the project
- Manuscript preparation for submission to peer reviewed journals
- Presenting results in international conferences
- Providing guidance to Master’s and visiting students when required
