Research Scientist

We are currently seeking a highly motivated candidate to fill a full-time position as a Water Electrolysis Research Scientist.

Responsibilities:

• The successful candidate should have direct knowledge and experience in electrocatalyst synthesis, as well as fabrication and testing of MEAs/CCMs for water electrolyzers. Responsibilities include but are not limited to the following:
• Investigate non-PGM electrocatalysts for AEM water electrolysis, identifying promising candidates for further development
• Integrate catalyst with ionomers to fabricate and optimize non-PGM AEM electrodes
• Perform electrochemical and physical characterization of electrocatalyst materials and electrolysis cells
• Conduct durability testing to study degradation mechanisms, and develop mitigation strategies to improve AEM electrode durability
• Contribute to related projects, such as proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis or fuel cells, as assigned
• Prepare and evaluate technical plans, reports, presentations, and proposals to support project success

Requirements

Qualifications:

• Ph.D. or equivalent in in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering or closely related field
• Hand-on experience in electrocatalyst synthesis, electrode fabrication, and electrochemical characterization is preferred
• Extensive experience in AEM water electrolysis or related electrochemical energy conversion technologies is highly desirable
• Ability to work efficiently within a multidisciplinary research environment
