Research Associate For The Mathematical Modelling And Simulation Of Fuel Cells 1
vor 1 Tag
School:
School of Engineering
Starting date:
February 2025
Your role
The scope of duties of the position includes the cooperation in a research project, in particular a European project with an international consortium composed of academic and industrial partners:
- Mathematical modelling of proton exchange membrane fuel cells for the decarbonisation of heavy-duty vehicles
- Model implementation and numerical simulation
- Preparation of parameter studies, model validation, analysis and evaluation of measurement data
- Development of graphical user interfaces for dissemination of models to industry
Your profile
You have a degree in physics, mathematics or engineering. A good understanding of physics is required to model material properties and transport of mass, momentum, charge, and heat. Experience in the numerical solution of differential equations is needed. Previous knowledge of electrochemistry is a highly-valued skill. Programming skills in a common (scientific) programming language for numerical simulation are advantageous. In addition, you are highly self-motivated, proactive, flexible and enjoy a result-oriented way of working. Professional fluency in English is required, knowledge of German is not indispensable, but may prove useful.
This is what we stand for
Zurich University of Applied Sciences ZHAW is one of Switzerland's largest multidisciplinary universities of applied sciences, with over 14'000 students and 3'400 faculty and staff.
As one of the leading technical universities in Switzerland, the School of Engineering (SoE) focuses on future-oriented topics. 14 institutes and centres guarantee high-quality education as well as research and development with a focus on energy, mobility and health.
