www.mdh.sePosition description
MDH is looking for a post-doc in Intelligent Electro-fuel Production. The position involves working within the research specialization Future Energy Center (FEC). The work is part of the research activities conducted in modelling and simulation, model-predictive control and robust optimization for Power-to-Gas technologies under the IFAISTOS project at FEC. The focus of MDH is on modeling and smart control of H2 production by water electrolysis and H2 conversion with an external CO or CO2 source to CH4 via methanation. The work includes both simulation and experimental parts, so good skills in one or both areas are of very strong merit, since pilot tests and larger-scale demonstrations are planned. More information about the IFAISTOS project you can find through the following link: IFAISTOS
The successful candidate is therefore expected to have a good engineering background with profound skills in heating and turbine technology and related modelling tools and be able to interact effectively with partner research institutes, industry, colleagues and other stakeholders. The post-doc/researcher is expected to take initiatives, develop own ideas and work independently, as well as take responsibility for the work.
The position is a temporary employment of 2 years.
Qualifications
The applicant is required to have a PhD degree in Chemical Engineering, Energy Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering or in relevant areas.
The applicant must have completed the degree no more than three years before the end of the application period as well as shown research and pedagogical skills within the subject area.
The position requires sound verbal and written communication skills in English.
Assessment criteria
The school will select the most suitable candidate for this position following a combined evaluation of competence and skills, in addition to documented qualifications. Personal suitability will be judged in relation to the candidate's capacity to effectively carry out the research work in this area, to integrate and contribute to a positive development of the research environment at MDH, as well as deliver value to our partner organizations.
In general terms the assessment criteria shall be based on the ability to cooperate as well as the ability and suitability otherwise required to fulfil the duties well.
MDH continuously strives to be an attractive employer. Equality and diversity are substantial foundations in all activities at MDH. We value the qualities that an even distribution of age and gender, as well as ethnic and cultural diversity, can contribute to the organization.
Further qualifications and merits
You are open-minded and interested in collaborating across borders within and outside MDH. Interest in and experience research as well as a post-doctoral or equivalent stay at an institution other than the one where your PhD was awarded are considered merits. Teamwork, leadership, organizational and entrepreneurial skills are advantages.
Further merits for the position are:
• Strong interest or experience in modelling of chemical processes (electrolysis, methenation) and related experimental work.
• Strong interest or experience on model predictive control and/or electrolysers/gasifiers.
• Experience and interest in interaction with various international partner organizations and professional management and cooperation, including representing MDH at project meetings abroad.
• Knowledge of, experience with, and/or interest in programming languages and modeling and analysis tools such as C++, Python, Fortran Open Modelica, and/or Matlab.
• Knowledge of, experience with, and interest in working independently in a lab environment.
• Experience in teaching at the university level in energy engineering and/or mechanical engineering.
• Ability to collaborate with other researchers as well as work independently.
• Curious, goal-oriented, flexible, ambitious, and communicative personality.
• Interest in developing methods and bringing them into different application areas.
You should have a good number of peer-reviewed articles within the stated areas published at leading conferences and highly-ranked international peer-reviewed journals.
