PhD Research Fellow in Materials Science (ref 257196)

We seek a PhD Research Fellow with qualifications and interest in materials science and renewable energy conversion technologies.

The Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology (SMN) comprises UiO’s focus on renewable energy, materials science, and nanotechnology. The Centre is an interdisciplinary collaboration between five research groups in physics and chemistry, and spearheads the MN Faculty's efforts for sustainable energy solutions.

The position is part of the interdisciplinary SOLARIS initiative which addresses solar energy harvesting and storage, including electrochemical energy conversion.

The PhD Research Fellow will be affiliated with the research groups Electrochemistry and Semiconductor Physics at the Departments of Chemistry and Physics, respectively. Both groups consist of around 30-40 highly dedicated professors, researchers, postdocs, PhD fellows, engineers, admin, MSc and exchange students.  The groups regularly organize social events including seminars and cabin trips with outdoor activities, relay race around Oslo, potluck and garden party.

The Electrochemistry group is among the world-leading in solid-state electrochemistry and the materials science of proton-conducting oxides for electrochemical energy conversion technologies such as proton ceramic fuel cells and electrolyzers. These technologies are central in the transition to renewable energy and in the electrification of industrial processes.
