About this position

University of Twente is advertising a 24-month postdoctoral position in the SEED lab (Sustainable Electrochemical Engineering and Digitalisation) within the Faculty of Science and Technology. The project focuses on protonic ceramic cells (PCCs) for both Power-to-X and fuel cell applications, with a strong emphasis on high-temperature electrochemistry, cell fabrication, characterization, and testing.

The core research theme is the development of novel pressurised PCC reactor concepts. The postdoc will help advance selective electrochemical conversion of CO2 into chemicals such as methanol and olefins, and N2 into ammonia. The role also includes contributing to a pressurised tubular cell test setup currently being built in the group. In parallel, the successful candidate will work on fuel-flexible protonic ceramic fuel cells (PCFCs) and broader high-temperature electrochemistry projects spanning protonic ceramic and solid oxide cells.

This opportunity is aimed at an experienced experimentalist with hands-on skills in synthesis, fabrication, characterization, and testing of ceramic cells. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is explicitly required, and experience with i-V testing, MS, GC, and materials characterization methods such as SEM-EDX, XRD, Raman, and/or DRIFTS is highly relevant. The postdoc should be self-driven, collaborative, and willing to mentor PhD, MSc, and BSc students.

The position offers a full-time appointment with a gross monthly salary of €4,241–€5,538 depending on experience and qualifications, plus Dutch university benefits including holiday allowance, year-end bonus, pension, and campus sports access. The application deadline is 19 July 2026.

Applicants should submit a CV, a 1-page motivation letter, and a half-page summary of prior research through the official University of Twente vacancy portal. Do not apply by email or LinkedIn. For questions, the contact person is Dr. Aayan Banerjee at [email protected].

What's required

Applicants must hold a PhD in chemical engineering, chemistry, applied physics or a related field. Strong hands-on experience in experimental high-temperature electrochemistry is required, with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) mandatory. Experience with protonic ceramic tubular cells is preferred. Candidates should also have experience with i-V testing, gas-phase product analysis (MS, GC), and materials/microstructural characterization such as SEM-EDX, XRD, Raman and/or DRIFTS. The role requires fluency in English, the ability to work independently, a self-driven and collaborative attitude, and willingness to mentor PhD, Master and Bachelor students and work with academic and industrial partners.
