The Paul Wurth Chair conducts research in the broad area of green hydrogen. Together with industrial partners and the Chair sponsor (Paul Wurth company, part of SMS Group), we tackle important research and development questions from the atomic scale working on catalysts and electrocatalysts, to reactors and separation systems – especially membranes, right up to high-TRL applications of hydrogen systems to help decarbonize industry and mobility.
The University of Luxembourg is seeking to hire a highly motivated and outstanding researcher in the area of hydrogen reactors and membrane systems.
We're looking for people driven by excellence, excited about innovation, and looking to make a difference. If this sounds like you, you've come to the right place!
Your Role...The Paul Wurth Chair is building up a range of new experimental facilities, in collaboration with industrial partners and to pursue externally funded research projects, often involving Masters and PhD students. These include:
Your role is to work intensively with fellow researchers, technicians, suppliers and partners to design, build and operate these experimental facilities. The Paul Wurth Chair is also procuring a wide range of new, state- of-the-art characterization equipment which you will also help commission, operate and maintain. Your writing tasks will include safety, operation documentation, reports to sponsors and partners, and research publications from the projects involving this equipment.
The position is particularly targeted at researchers who aim to establish their own independent research career (for example as a research group leader or junior/assistant professor), and to this end, extensive career development assistance will be provided. The appointed researcher will also help to prepare new research proposals for national and European projects, and if funded, help lead the projects to establish an independent research and funding track record.
