Stillingstittel:
Researcher in Solid State Electrochemistry (2016/8495)

Stillingsbeskrivelse:
The University of Oslo is Norway’s largest institution of research and education with 28 000 students and 7000 employees. Its broad range of academic disciplines and internationally esteemed research communities make UiO an important contributor to society.

Position as Researcher (SKO 1109) available at Department of Chemistry and the Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology at the University of Oslo.

The employmentperiod is 2 years. Within the framework of the position duties may be assigned. Starting date no later than 15 November 2016.

Job description/ Project description:

Surface processes are in many cases rate limiting the overall yield of solid oxide fuel cells and hydrogen gas separation membranes – key technologies in future environment-friendly energy production. The present project, Designing rules for enhancing SURface KINetics in functional OXides for clean energy technologies (SURKINOX) will develop novel approaches to design property-driven materials with nano-functionalized surfaces and nano-structured thin films, as well as necessary experimental techniques to reveal surface exchange parameters. This will increase the understanding and evaluation of the details of surface reaction in the aforementioned technologies. The project is financed through the M-ERA.NET and has partners from The Netherlands (University of Twente), Spain (ICN2) in addition to Norway (Sintef, coordinator, and UiO).

Qualifications:

The candidate must have a PhD or other corresponding education equivalent to a Norwegian doctoral degree in inorganic, physical, or materials chemistry. Experience and specialization in defects and/or transport in functional oxides at elevated temperatures is a demand. Experience with studies of surface kinetics and/or computational studies (e.g. DFT and/or static lattice simulations, and/or molecular dynamics simulations) is a clear advantage.

A good command of English is required.

Salary:

NOK 486 100 – 567 100 per year (Pay Grade 57 – 65 depending on qualifications and seniority).

The application must include:

• Application letter
• Project description
• CV (summarizing education, positions, pedagogical experience, administrative experience and other qualifying activity)
• Copies of educational certificates, transcript of records and letters of recommendation
• A complete list of publications and up to 5 academic works that the applicant wishes to be considered by the evaluation committee
• Names and contact details of 2-3 references (name, relation to candidate, e-mail and telephone number)

Please remember that all documents should be in English or a Scandinavian language.

In accordance with the University of Oslo’s equal opportunities policy, we invite applications from all interested individuals regardless of gender or ethnicity.

UiO has an agreement for all employees, aiming to secure rights to research results a.o.
