Kongens Lyngby
We seek a 9-month Development Engineer to carry out testing of electrodes for H2 and O2 evolution in alkaline environment (AE) by means of RDE testing under varying temperature, electrolyte composition, and operating pressure.
The job
The Section of Low Temperature Electrochemistry at DTU Energy carries out research on electrochemical conversion and storage technologies. Our research spans from fundamental understanding of electrochemical materials and processes to fabrication of lab scale components and devices and testing using advanced electrochemical characterization methods and test stations. We work in close collaboration with other Sections within the Department of Energy Conversion and Storage, expanding our capacity for materials processing, microstructural characterization, and modelling.
Electrolysis is a key technology for transitioning to a 100% sustainable energy system, as it both enables cost effective and large scale storage of intermittent renewable electricity and provides the means for the production of sustainable fuels and chemicals. Alkaline electrolysis is the most mature and low cost amongst electrolysis technologies but requires a boost in efficiency and production rate to further lower the price of hydrogen produced to a level that can compete with fossil fuel derived hydrogen. Improving electrodes for H2 and O2 evolution in alkaline environment is expected to contribute greatly in this direction, and forms the main goal of this PostDoc project.
Responsibilities and tasks
At DTU Energy we are developing electrocatalysts, electrodes, and membranes for advanced alkaline electrolysis cells. We do so by exploring and fine-tuning the underlying processes that help guide progress in a rational manner. The aim of this Development Engineer position is to carry out RDE measurements on a series of metals and under a broad range of electrolyte compositions and temperatures to generate the data that will help understand the behaviour of the electrodes under realistic operating conditions.
Our expectations of you
Candidates should have a PhD degree or equivalent in e.g. Physics, Materials Science, or Physical Chemistry.
As an appropriate candidate you are:
Documented experience in as many as possible of the following specific areas is required:
What we offer in return
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.
Salary and appointment terms
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union. The period of employment is 9 months.

Application and contact
Please submit your online application no later than Monday, 25 September 2023 (23:59 Danish time). Open the “Apply now” link, fill out the form and attach your motivated application, CV and exam certificates.
Further information may be obtained from Senior Scientist Christodoulos Chatzichristodoulou; [email protected] , tel.: +45 2132 5057 or Head of Section Johan Hjelm; [email protected] .

Applications received after the deadline will not be considered.
All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, race, disability, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply.
The Department of Energy Conversion and Storage is focused on education, research, and development within functional materials and their application in sustainable energy technologies. In a sustainable energy system a large part of the energy will be supplied by fluctuating sources such as solar and wind power. This makes it critically important to be able to convert and store the energy as needed. The researchers in the Department of Energy Conversion and Storage work on technologies and materials for direct conversion and subsequent storage of different forms of energy.
Technology for people
DTU develops technology for people. With our international elite research and study programmes, we are helping to create a better world and to solve the global challenges formulated in the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Hans Christian Ørsted founded DTU in 1829 with a clear mission to develop and create value using science and engineering to benefit society. That mission lives on today. DTU has 13,500 students and 6,000 employees. We work in an international atmosphere and have an inclusive, evolving, and informal working environment. DTU has campuses in all parts of Denmark and in Greenland, and we collaborate with the best universities around the world.
