Job description

 

The employee will be working in a multidisciplinary field with focus on electrochemical systems. The applicant must have a workplace that agrees to support her or his work effort at NTNU.

 

The work task for the selected candidate is related to research in the field of energy storage. Research is to be carried out as a part of the ENERSENSE initiative. ENERSENSE is a cross-disciplinary strategic research initiative focusing on energy storage, energy efficiency, and sensor technology development. Currently ENERSENSE involves around 25 researchers, including PhD-candidates, assistant-, associate-, and full professors. The candidate is expected to collaborate with the people involved in ENERSENSE on research, facilitating collaboration with industry and other research institutions, writing research proposals, organizing workshops, and other activities revolving around the ENERSENSE initiative. The position does not involve specific teaching duties, but the person hired is expected to collaborate with bachelor thesis student, master thesis students and PhD-candidates that are a part of ENERSENSE.

 

The baseline goal for ENERSENSE is to double todays research activity for the participating staff members compared to the current scientific production. The sought candidate is expected to contribute to this mainly by writing (joint) applications for external funding for more PhD-candidates and postdoctoral fellows. Funding will be sought in part from the European Union, through the Horizon 2020 program, or the Norwegian Research Council.

 

The position is a 4-year appointment with a possibility for extension. The funding is from ENERSENSE, which in turn has been granted for the period of January 2016 until the end of 2023, as long as certain requirements are met. After four years, there is a midway evaluation to determine if ENERSENSE is to be continued until the end of the funding period. As long as ENERSENSE is continued, the position can be extended.

 

Qualifications

 

The department seeks someone with expertise within electrochemical energy storage applications, but other additional experience with renewable energy storage technologies such as biofuels and hydrogen
