About this position
PhD opportunity in electrochemical energy storage at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (URJC), Madrid, Spain. Dr. Pablo A. García-Salaberri is seeking an outstanding PhD candidate to apply for a predoctoral fellowship under the PIPF 2026 programme of the Comunidad de Madrid.
The project, “Modeling and Characterization of Bilayered Porous Architectures for Redox Flow Batteries: Balancing Electrochemical Performance and Pressure Drop,” will investigate porous electrodes for redox flow batteries. Research topics include computational electrochemistry, multiphysics modeling, fluid transport, electrochemical reactions, electrode microstructure, pressure drop, porous media, CFD, numerical methods, and sustainable energy storage.
The position offers a predoctoral contract for up to four years, with a minimum gross annual salary of €30,000 during the first three years and €35,000 in the fourth year subject to doctoral completion and programme requirements. An additional €12,000 supports international research stays and doctoral tuition.
Candidates should hold bachelor's and master's degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Energy Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related field. An excellent academic record is mandatory. Experience or strong interest in CFD, numerical methods, multiphysics simulation, scientific programming, or electrochemistry is highly desirable, along with strong analytical skills, motivation, and scientific curiosity. Recruitment is restricted to EU nationals for this internal recruitment process.
To apply, email a CV, complete bachelor's and master's transcripts with grades, and a brief research-interest statement to [email protected]. The internal application deadline is 2 November 2026.
