About this position

The Clean Hydrogen Lab at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, under the direction of Professor Bruno G. Pollet, is recruiting a PhD student for a three-year project in Sonoelectrochemical Engineering. The research focuses on simulations and experimental validation of ultrasound-assisted electrochemical systems, with applications in hydrogen evolution, oxygen evolution, and wastewater treatment. The project aims to develop and validate high-fidelity multiphysics simulations to investigate ultrasound propagation, acoustic cavitation, and acoustic streaming in electrochemical processes. The candidate will use computational fluid dynamics (CFD), acoustic modeling, and electrochemical transport simulations, and will work closely with a UK-based company.

Applicants should have a Master's degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, Applied Mathematics, or a related field. Essential skills include numerical modeling, simulation, and experience with software such as COMSOL Multiphysics or Ansys. Desirable skills include knowledge of electrochemistry, acoustics, multiphase flow modeling, and experimental work. Strong communication, scientific writing, and hands-on skills are required. French language and project management skills are advantageous but not mandatory.

The PhD student will be supervised by Prof. Bruno G. Pollet and Dr. Adriana Bernardes (University College London, UK). The position offers a competitive stipend under the NSERC Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Clean Hydrogen, with opportunities for international travel and collaboration. The application deadline is December 5, 2025. To apply, send your CV, list of publications, diplomas, and certificates to Prof. Pollet by email. For more information, see the provided links on sonoelectrochemistry and ultrasound in electrochemistry.
