ZHAW - Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften

PhD in cell-scale modelling for high-throughput screening 100 % m/f/d

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie doctoral training network “PREDICTOR" is made up of 22 partners. The network will recruit a total of 17 doctoral candidates for project work lasting for 36 months.

Aufgaben

The goal of the announced doctoral thesis is to develop cell scale models of redox flow batteries. This includes a macroscopic thermodynamically consistent membrane model for integration into cell-scale models and experimental model parameterization. Interaction with other doctoral students will be important, e.g. to incorporate homogenised porous electrode models into the continuum-scale modelling framework. The doctoral thesis will also focus on developing an industrial application for the redox flow battery models.

Qualifikation

• In accordance with the European Union's funding rules for doctoral networks, applicants must NOT yet have a PhD

• The applicant must not have resided or carried out her/ his main activity (work, studies etc.) in Switzerland for more than 12 months in the past 3 years.

• Excellent master's degree in computational science, physics, mathematics, engineering, or a related discipline

• Familiarity with mathematical modelling and numerical methods for ordinary and partial differential equations

• Experience in modelling and simulation of physical- and/or chemical- processes based on thermodynamics

• Strong interest in working in a cross-disciplinary, collaborative project at the interface of electrochemistry and mathematical modelling

• Experience in at least one programming language for scientific computing (C/C++, Matlab, Wolfram Language (Mathematica), Python, Julia, ...)

• Good communication skills and willingness to work in collaborative projects with multiple partners and present results at conferences, project meetings and partners

• Very good English language skills (German is beneficial)

• Self-motivation and the ability to achieve goals independently as well as to contribute effectively to the team
