Job Description

•             Synthesize nanostructured catalysts and support materials for hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution reactions (HER/OER).

•             Fabricate ultrathin, lightweight ceramic-polymer composite membranes for high-performance Anion Exchange Membrane (AEM) and Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers.

•             Design and integrate 3D porous electrode architectures to enhance gas diffusion and mass transport in water-splitting systems.

•             Synthesize and characterize transition metal- bimetallic or alloyed electrocatalysts for alkaline and acidic hydrogen production.

•             Develop and test freestanding ionomer membranes and catalyst-coated substrates for electrolytic hydrogen generation.

•             Assemble and evaluate single-cell electrolyzer and fuel cell prototypes, including membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) optimization.

•             Perform electrochemical analysis (LSV, EIS, Tafel, CV) to assess catalyst activity, stability, and efficiency under varying operating conditions.

•             Machine learning optimisation for catalysis and failure analysis

Qualifications

•             Ph.D. in the area of mechanical engineering or materials science

•             Experience in fabrication of fuel cells and electrolyzers

•             In-depth knowledge in electrochemistry, electrochemical techniques (CV, LSV, EIS etc), and polymer membranes.

•             Experience in synthesis nanomaterials and nanocomposites for catalyst.

•             Experiencce in handling analytical instruments  (e.g. FESEM, XRD, TGA, Viscometer etc.)

•             Strong publication records in electrochemistry
