CIC Energigune is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to engage in the development of thermal energy storage concepts and solutions. The thermal energy storage group of CIC Energigune is focusing on the research of different classes of materials for thermal energy storage applications. The main goal is to identify the most promising ones for a future application in concentrated solar power plants and in industrial waste heat recovery.
We are inviting applications for a Postdoctoral position in the group of materials development and characterization. Preference will be given to candidates with extensive hands-on experience in the development, synthesis and characterization of ceramic, inorganic and metallic materials.
Job functions:
• Structural characterization of different classes of ceramic materials such as Slag, natural rocks, concrete, etc.
• Determination of their relevant thermophysical properties: specific heat, thermal diffusivity and conductivity, thermal emissivity, thermal expansion, etc.
• Corrosion study between the thermal storage media and different classes of heat transfer fluids such as gas, synthetic oils, and inorganic molten salts.
• Corrosion study between the heat transfer fluids and the materials mainly used in the construction of the storage tanks (Steels and Stainless steels).
• Collaboration in project proposal writing to obtain funding from institutions and industrial sources.
• Supervise graduate/master students and technicians.
We are offering
We are offering a 24 months position within interesting National, European and International projects in the field of thermal energy storage and important opportunities for professional development.
CIC Energigune offers a competitive basic salary augmented by important benefits such as special conditions for a private health insurance that compare favourably with the best global private and public institutions.
The “Fundación” will also help smooth the transition for you and your family, providing a welcome programme that offers accommodation and addresses of other aspects to help you integrate into the local environment.
We are looking for
Qualification requirements:
• Ph.D. in materials science, or related fields
• Expertise in the development, synthesis and characterization of ceramic, inorganic and metallic materials
• Experience in experimental work using different characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction, SEM/TEM, DSC/TGA, IR-FTIR, thermal conductivity, dilatometer, porosimetry, densitometer, etc.
• A team player who can collaborate with other groups, technical centres, and industries
• Good verbal and written communication skills in English
All applicants are invited to submit detailed curriculum vitae and 2 reference letters at www.cicenergigune.com.
CIC Energigune is committed to affirmative action, equal opportunity and the diversity of its workforce.
