About the position

A PhD position is available at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering within the field of material integrity for hydrogen energy application.

Hydrogen is considered as a clean alternative to fossil fuels in heat and electricity production. However, there are numerous knowledge and technical gaps that need to be filled before it can be used in industrial and commercial applications. The position will be affiliated to the HYDROGENi project under the environmental-friendly energy research (FEM). The project is dedicated to build a sustainable hydrogen economy to meet the 2030 and 2050 goals of the Norwegian hydrogen road map. The research will be focused on developing and exploring new testing and characterization technologies for the investigation of material integrity within hydrogen environment. Fundamental kinetics and thermodynamics knowledge affected by hydrogen will be studied.  

For a position as a PhD candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.

Your immediate leader is Professor.
