JOB DESCRIPTION: CIC energiGUNE is looking for a researcher for our Modelling and Computational Simulations group to engage in the research and development of polymer electrolytes for rechargeable Zn-air batteries within a Horizon EU project.
Main functions: To apply state-of-the-art computational techniques, combining interatomic potentials with molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate solvation structures and ionic transport properties as a function of different experimental parameters, such as temperature and pH.
The candidate will join a multidisciplinary and collaborative team of theorists and experimentalists from condensed matter, electrochemistry, and materials sciences.
Area: Electrochemical energy storage (EES) Research group: Modelling and Computational Simulation Research Group WHAT WE OFFER: We are offering a 3-year temporary contract and advantageous professional development opportunities with the possibility of renewal 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.
Full access to cutting-edge laboratory facilities and characterization platforms.
The incorporation to a top research center in Europe that makes high quality research and impactful contributions to the energy and sustainability fields.
Professional and personal development: opportunity to attend seminars, international conferences, training courses, etc.
Integrated, enthusiastic, international and multidisciplinary environment.
A welcome program that offers help with finding accommodation and addresses other aspects to help you integrate into the local environment (such as free language courses, assistance with the administrative procedures, help with schools for children).
TO APPLY: All applicants are invited to submit their application, a detailed curriculum vitae along with a motivation letter at this website.
The selection process ends once the candidate is selected.
CIC energiGUNE is committed to affirmative action, equal opportunity, and the diversity of its workforce.
