Professor in Electrochemical Batteries (Aalborg University, Faculty of Engineering and Science, Department of Energy Technology)

PROFESSOR IN ELECTROCHEMICAL BATTERIES At the Faculty of Engineering and Science, Department of Energy Technology a position as Professor in Electrochemical Batteries is open for appointment for a period of 5 years from 1. February 2019 or soon hereafter. The Department of Energy Technology is an expanding department covering most fields of Energy Technology ranging from electrical energy (Power Systems, Power Electronics, Electrical Machines) to thermal energy including Energy Systems and Fluid Mechanics and Combustion but also mechatronic systems. The department has about 250 employees – out of them are more than 100 Ph.D. students. The laboratory-facilities are world-class and the research carried out are most often in collaboration with industry. This position is part of a special Aalborg University initiative concerning Distinguished International Professors that AAU provides for the purpose of increasing internationalization and research performance in selected fields. Together with the position, a top-up programme valued at more than one million Euros for employment of PhDs and Post docs during the five-year period is defined. JOB DESCRIPTION The position is offered in relation to the research program "Battery Technology and Components" and the professor will be positioned to the section for Power Electronics. The Department of Energy Technology at Aalborg University is currently seeking to expand its research team with a Professor in the field of electrochemical batteries, with a special focus on one of the following areas: • Research and development of new electrochemical battery chemistries • Electrochemical characterization of batteries using destructive and non-destructive testing methods, battery post-mortem analysis, and battery electrochemical and thermal modeling. The Department has played an important role in battery research at national and international level in the past years. Thus, the future professor is expected to strengthen the already existing Battery Storage Systems group at Department of Energy Technology by conducting ground-breaking and original research in the field of battery in-situ and ex-situ electrochemical characterization and modeling or in the field of development of new and improved electrochemical battery chemistries. The candidate should demonstrate a high level of experience in publishing in well-established journals. Furthermore, the successful candidate is expected to initiate, obtain and lead externally funded research and innovation projects at both national and international level. Consequently, the candidate should be well-experienced in research project development and management and demonstrate the ability to bring together researchers and build a research group. Experience with supervision of researchers and/or PhD students is a requirement. As a professor, you are expected to play a leading role in development and teaching of BSc, MSc and PhD courses in different topics such as electrochemistry, electrochemical energy conversion and batteries. Furthermore, all BSc and MSc programmes at Aalborg University are based on the problem-based learning philosophy, which requires that at least half of the ECTS per semester are obtained through group-based student projects. Thus, you are expected to be involved in student project supervision and develop strong ties between teaching and research activities.
