.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 that is also 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.
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.
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.
We are offering: A 3-year temporary contract with advantageous professional development opportunities and 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.
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 administrative procedures, help with schools for children, etc.).
All applicants are invited to submit their application, including 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.
