Job Description
The position involves experimental and modelling research on hydrogen storage and transport using metal redox cycles. The role emphasizes hands-on work in a 100 kW pilot-scale experimental facility. Responsibilities include planning, executing, and analysing experiments related to cyclic oxidation and reduction of metals for hydrogen production and storage. You will develop dynamic process models using APROS, study reuse of circulating fluidised bed boilers, analyze research results, contribute to publications, and participate in conferences. The position involves some travel and collaboration with international research teams.
