Stillingstittel: PhD candidate 2nd life batteries

Stillingsbeskrivelse:

Study for your PhD with the Department of Renewable Energy Systems at IFE! We offer a position in our research group for energy system analysis in close cooperation with the Department of Battery Technology. The position is fully funded for 3 years and you will join a growing group in a dynamic industry. The project is co-funded by IFE and the University of Oslo.

The market for electric vehicles is growing fast, and with it an increased emphasis on the value of second life electric vehicle batteries. Your scientific contributions will investigate the value, safety and cost-optimal application of 2ND life of Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries in the future Norwegian energy system. The relevant research activity in the two departments spans from fundamental research of instrumentation, data analysis and modelling, degradation studies of batteries, battery production, energy system analysis, and much more. Through industrial collaboration, as well as with the broader team at IFE, you will develop an understanding for the real-world needs and opportunities related to the use of used electric vehicle batteries.
