Job description The position offered concerns mainly the development and validation of chemical and/or electrochemical models related to Lithium-ion battery recycling processes and battery cells. The candidate will provide support to the Battery and Electrification Technologies (BET) unit in both European and national projects related to Li-ion batteries and redox flow batteries. The selected candidate will work in the FREE4LIB Horizon Europe project and contribute to the European Battery Innovation IPCEI project (https://www.ipcei-batteries.eu) aiming at the development of next-generation battery technologies. The activities of the successful candidate will focus on: *development and validation of models for the different chemical processes involved in Li-ion battery recycling (e.g., leaching, precipitation, liquid- liquid extraction, etc); *development and validation of electrochemical models at cell level for different battery technologies (e.g., Li-ion, Redox flow batteries, Solid-state batteries); *supporting cell testing activities that will provide inputs for the models. The ideal candidate should have: -MSc in Chemical Engineering, Computational Engineering or equivalent technical background; -Strong know-how on chemical and/or electrochemical processes; -Solid know-how on computational methods for the resolution of PDEs and ODEs; -Know-how on modelling chemical or electrochemical phenomena at component or system level, preferably using opensource or custom-developed software; -Skills in programming (e.g., C++, python or Julia) and some experience in the development of applications or libraries for modelling physical systems; -Experience with computational tools for multiphysics analyses (e.g., OpenFOAM, FeniCS, Ansys Fluent) and/or with system level/chemical process simulators (e.g., OpenModelica, Aspen, DWSim); -Good knowledge of written and spoken English; -Ability to work in a collaborative environment, with a strong commitment to achieve assigned objectives; -Ability to organize and complete multiple tasks/projects at one time; -Skills in problem solving; -Ability to write technical reports and scientific papers; -Good communication and relational skills; -Self-motivation and result orientation. Furthermore, the following elements will be positively evaluated: -PhD degree (or a few years of experience) in fields related to this call; -Solid know-how on electrochemistry and batteries; -Know-how on battery cells electrochemical models for Li-ion (e.g., SPM, DFN) or redox flow batteries. Employment Type of contract: Fixed Term Contract Gross annual salary:about € 36.200 - € 41.400 depending on background and expertise in the field. Working hours: full time (38 hours per week) Start date: July 2024 Duration: 2 years (with the possibility to extend the contract) Workplace: Povo - Rovereto Benefits: flexi-time, company subsidized cafeteria or meal vouchers, internal car park, welcome office support for visa formalities, accommodation, social security (SANIFONDS), family-work balance, free training courses, support on bank account opening, discount on public transport, sport, language course fees.
