Vacant positions
The Department for Battery Technology at IFE is currently seeing an increase in the activity within research and development of battery technology systems. We have a vacant researcher position (2 years with the possibility for a permanent position). We collaborate closely with Norwegian and foreign industry partners as well as with internationally recognized research organizations.
The battery market is growing fast and has new needs for electrification and large-scale energy storage. Your scientific contributions will investigate the lifetime, degradation and safety of batteries and battery systems. The research activity will also expand to new applications and business cases of battery systems such as 2nd life use of batteries and recycling of battery materials. Through industrial collaboration, as well as with the broader team at IFE, you will develop an understanding for the real-world needs and opportunities related to the use of battery technology systems.
- PhD or equivalent within chemistry, physics, data science, material science or power electronics
- Experience working with lithium-ion battery technologies is a plus
- Experience with modelling, data interpretation and analysis
- Industry experience is beneficial
- Excellent written and oral communication skills in English
The Department of Battery Technology at IFE has a vacant researcher position (2 years with the possibility for a permanent position). We are increasing our activity in research and development of energy materials where we collaborate closely with Norwegian and foreign industry partners as well as with internationally recognized research organizations.
