Junior Scientist/Engineer Role in Flow Battery Modeling and Simulation (PhD)
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD holder to join our Science and Engineering team. The ideal candidate will have expertise in modeling and simulation, particularly in the field of flow batteries.
Our vision is to create a sustainable energy system that relies on organic chemistry, eliminating the need for critical mined materials. To achieve this goal, we are developing a membrane-less redox flow battery that works exclusively with organic chemistry.
The successful candidate will develop mathematical models to capture multiphysics phenomena driving our systems, from microscale processes to system performance. They will collaborate closely with the engineering team to validate their findings with experimental data, playing a key role in predicting the performance of our systems.
Main Responsibilities:
* Developing mathematical models to simulate flow battery behavior
* Performing computational analyses using FEM to evaluate design trade-offs
* Collaborating with the engineering team to compare simulation results with experiments
* Communicating complex model assumptions and limitations to non-experts
Required Skills:
* Ph.D. in mechanical/chemical/process engineering, applied mathematics, or related fields
* Strong experience in modeling and performing FEM simulations in fluid mechanics, liquid interfaces, or mass transport domains
* Solution-oriented mindset with out-of-the-box thinking
* Experience with electrochemical devices, such as alkaline batteries, flow batteries, electrolyzers, or fuel cells (desirable)
About Our Team:
We offer a dynamic, high-performance, and collaborative work environment. As a member of our team, you will be at the forefront of developing innovative large-scale energy storage solutions. We prioritize work-life balance, sports activities, and professional growth opportunities.
