Experience in any of the skills listed below would be beneficial but are not required to be considered for the role. The demands of the role are diverse so enthusiasm about developing a range of techniques ranging from experimental measurements at cell/stack-scale to theory/simulation is important. Ability to effectively co-operate with diverse project teams.Experience working safely and to a high quality in a research setting.Demonstrable knowledge of hydrogen technologies such as PEMFC and PEMWE.A PhD (or equivalent experience) in chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, or another relevant subject.The following are required to successfully deliver the role: NPL is rapidly expanding its hydrogen research portfolio and the successful candidate will work within an established team to deliver a wide range of fuel cell and electrolyser research projects, working from concept development through to final reporting. The initial focus of this role will be the development of new measurement techniques for single cell and short stack polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) and polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysers (PEMWE) in ongoing collaborative national and European funded projects.Īdaptability, enthusiasm for problem solving and good organisational skills will be key. Groups from across NPL work closely with leading academic groups and industrial partners to nurture the development and deployment of hydrogen production, distribution and end-use technologies. The Electrochemistry Group’s world-class research team delivers cutting-edge metrology to tackle a range of electrochemistry challenges, from corrosion and sensors to supporting the development and deployment of batteries and hydrogen. NPL is seeking a research scientist with experience of hydrogen technologies to join the Electrochemistry Group at NPL Teddington (South West London) in a permanent position.
