About the position

We have a vacancy for a PhD Research fellowship at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

This position is financially supported by the Research Council of Norway through the CLIMIT program. The PhD project topic is "Facilitated transport membranes for H2 purification" (Fat H2). The appointment has a duration of 3 years. The position is available from the earliest 1st June, 2019. The PhD candidate will be supervised by Associate Professor Liyuan Deng.

Main duties and responsibilities

The Fat H2 project is carried out in close collaboration with SINTEF Industry.
