Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid, Spain is advertising two research openings within the ION2MARKET-H2 project, a public-private collaboration focused on next-generation PEM and AEM water electrolyzers for green hydrogen production. The openings are for a PhD position (3+1 years) and a Postdoctoral Researcher position (1 year) in Advanced Multiscale Modelling of Proton and Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyzers . The work centers on computational electrochemistry and the development of predictive simulation tools for membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) and industrial hydrogen production. Research topics include computational fluid dynamics (CFD) , transport phenomena, electrochemical engineering, numerical methods, experimental validation, and green hydrogen technologies. The project aims to accelerate the design of high-performance electrolyzers through advanced multiscale and multiphysics modelling in collaboration with academic, technological, and industrial partners. Eligibility highlights: the PhD role seeks candidates with an MSc in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Computational Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related discipline; the postdoc role requires a PhD in a related field. Applicants should have a strong research profile, a solid background in numerical methods and CFD, experience with ANSYS Fluent, and excellent English communication skills. Funding details are provided in the post: the PhD position offers a gross salary of €1,650/month, and the postdoctoral position offers a gross salary of €1,950/month. The post does not mention a deadline, tuition waiver, or scholarship programme. To apply, upload your CV including contact details through the linked application form. The post explicitly states the location as Madrid, Spain.
