About this position
Fully funded PhD opportunity in Electrochemistry and Hydrogen Technology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, Norway.
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering is recruiting a PhD Candidate for a project within HYDROGENi, Norway's research centre for hydrogen technology. The research will investigate how catalyst layers in anion exchange membrane (AEM) water electrolysers perform and degrade over time, supporting the development of efficient green hydrogen production.
The doctoral researcher will develop and use experimental tools to characterize electrolyser operation and durability. Techniques include in-situ inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), impedance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The work is suited to candidates interested in electrochemistry, hydrogen, water electrolysis, catalyst layers, membrane-electrode assemblies, materials science and clean-energy technologies.
The position is fully funded and offers a gross annual salary of NOK 580,000. The appointment lasts three years, or four years when teaching duties are included. Additional benefits include a state pension, a research budget, summer and winter schools with industry partners, and free Norwegian lessons.
Applicants should hold a Master's degree in chemistry, nanotechnology, materials science or physics, with a Master's thesis of at least 30 ECTS and a grade average of B or better. Practical experience in experimental electrochemistry, cell assembly and single-cell test stations is required. Fluent English is required, while experience with impedance spectroscopy, catalyst layers, MEAs or AEM electrolysis cells is an advantage.
The application deadline is 16 November 2026 at 23:59 Oslo time. Apply via Jobbnorge with a CV, transcripts, Master's thesis, one-page motivation letter and contact details for three referees. The post indicates that the application link is available in the first comment.
