Additional Information

This research will be performed in close collaboration between GH2Lab, HRI, UQTR, Canada and an industrial partner . We are looking for a highly motivated Doctoral Researcher in the field of Materials Sciences with an interest in either Electrochemistry, Photo(electro)chemistry, Fuel Cell or Electrolyser. The Doctoral Researcher should have a BSc or/and a Master's degree in Chemistry, Materials Sciences, or closely related fields. This PhD project will focus on the development of new and improved catalyst materials for the next generation of hydrogen generating technologies. Main tasks Chemical synthesis and characterisation of novel catalytic materials. Electrochemical (CV, LSV, CA, CP, EIS etc.) and chemical characterisations of catalysts in various media/electrolytes. Use of voltammetry, amperometry, RDE, RRDE, low temperature fuel cell/electrolyser test stands etc. Physical characterisation techniques (TEM, SEM, BET, XRD, XPS, Identical Location Microscopy etc.). Other requirements Writing papers, patents and presenting the results at conferences. Writing progress reports. Excellent written and oral English. Project management skills desirable but not essential. Health and Safety Certificate desirable but not essential. French language skills desirable but not essential. Personal characteristics Professional. Good timekeeping. Observing and meeting deadlines. Eye for details. Team-player.
