CIC energiGUNE is now offering the opportunity to complete the Research PhD project on the field of Electrical Energy Storage (EES) at our facilities. The offer is aimed at students registered for a PhD programme at university in related subjects: materials science, physics, chemistry, engineering, etc.
CIC energiGUNE is an energy storage research centre with headquarters in the Basque Country, which aims to achieve and maintain levels of excellence in all of its research areas of focus and become an international benchmark in its field. The centre has the backing of public institutions and administrations, and of companies directly related to the energy sector.
Eligibility
Candidates must be pre-registered as PhD students at a European University in a materials related PhD Programme. Applications are open to students worldwide as long as they hold a master degree and their degree is validated / homologated and approved by the University where they intend to register, and that the university of choice agrees to establish a collaboration and a co-direction of the PhD Thesis with CIC energiGUNE.
More information on pre-registration in local universities who already have a collaboration agreement with CIC energiGUNE is available at their websites, University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) or Mondragon University (MU).
The PhD
CIC energiGUNE offers a total of 1 grant within the EES area to eligible students who wish to complete their PhD Thesis with us. Financial support will be 17.000€ gross / year (aprox. 14,000€ net / year). Students will be encouraged to apply for financial support by the university or other institutions (i.e. Basque Government). On top of the grant under offer students that are on possession of a grant will also be offered a position with us.
How to apply
Applications are open to students who wish to develop a career in research.
CIC Energigune is committed to affirmative action, equal opportunity and the diversity of its workforce.
PhD Project Description:
Research Line: Mid Temperature Na (EES)
Title: Viable electrode materials for sodium ion batteries
Supervisor: Dr. Gurpreet Singh
We are now inviting the applications for a Ph.D. student position in the area of Mid Temperature sodium ion batteries. The work will be focused on the development of the viable next generation sodium ion batteries electrode materials that are capable of working under different temperature conditions.
Since the oxide materials possess their own advantages over other materials in the competitor list, therefore the work will be mostly focused on the development of such electrode materials. To make these electrode materials viable to the practical application, they should behave well at above as well as below the room temperature, where electrolyte plays a critical role. Studies on such aspects along with the deep understanding of the subject will be the baseline of the thesis work.
Work will mostly include the experimental part along with some computation if required related to the feedback on some specific properties. We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a background on materials engineering. Applicants should have a high level in English (written and spoken). Candidates must prove a strong attitude towards experimental chemistry and the drive and capacity to tackle different aspects of a complex problem with large independence. Talent, enthusiasm for research and capability to work in an interdisciplinary and international environment are also expected. The candidate will be part of a research team formed by chemical engineer and physicists.
