About the job

For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.

This PhD is a part of the FME Battery centre, which is a large national centre gathering all research and industry partners in Norway who are focused on batteries. More information about FME battery can be found at the centres website. 

The Sustainable Energy Systems research group in the The Department of Energy and Process Engineering at the Gløshaugen campus of NTNU is searching for excellent applicants for a PhD position. For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree. The position duration is 3 years. 

The primary focus of this position is the digitalization of batteries through a comprehensive approach encompassing laboratory experimentation, sophisticated modelling techniques, and the application of data-driven methodologies.

Batteries have emerged as pivotal components in the global endeavour towards decarbonizing the energy sector, particularly evidenced by the substantial rise in demand for electrified transportation worldwide. Despite the significant strides made, there remain notable research cavities within battery technologies. The convergence of experimental and digital research represents a critical step towards the advancement of these technologies. Therefore, the digitalization of batteries promises to unlock new avenues for the application of modelling-based methodologies (including electrochemical, electrical equivalent, and physical models) and data-driven approaches to laboratory experimentation results. This innovative approach stands to expedite the development of battery technologies while facilitating the creation of digital twins, offering deeper insights into the functional parameters of these batteries.

The overarching aim of this PhD project is to conceive and cultivate digitalized battery research in close collaboration with industry. Central to this endeavour is the exploration of whether modelling and data-driven methodologies can be effectively harnessed to augment parameterisation of battery technologies. By leveraging laboratory-acquired data, we seek to refine our experimental research focus, emphasizing computationally optimized theories and hypotheses. The creation of a digital twin for batteries holds the promise of expediting the process of theory and hypothesis testing, thereby minimizing the duration spent on less fruitful avenues of inquiry. Moreover, the integration of data-driven methodologies into the digital twin framework affords opportunities for refining theories and hypotheses, with a particular emphasis on enhancing key parameters such as charging and discharging kinetics.

The candidate for this educational research position must possess the requisite skills to conduct comprehensive battery analysis in the laboratory setting, including but not limited to battery cycling, parameter measurement, and diagnostic interrogation. Additionally, proficiency in applying data driven techniques to ascertain unknown battery parameters (such as state of health, aging, and internal thermal properties) is paramount. 

You will report to Associate Professor Jacob Lamb to whom further inquiries may be directed.

NB: The application must include a brief description (~300 words) of possible implementation and data-driven strategies that pertain to the topic mentioned above (i.e. Project Proposal/Research Plan).

Duties of the position


	The candidate will plan and execute a comprehensive, independent research project under supervision. This will involve computational experiments, data analysis and integration.
	The candidate will learn to master academic writing and be lead author of several journal publications.
	The candidate is expected to present their work at international conferences and workshops.
	The candidate is expected to collaborate internationally, which may involve extended periods outside of Norway.
	The candidate is expected to contribute to the supervision of Masters students and other student projects.


Required selection criteria


	You must have a professionally relevant background with a master’s degree (or similar level) involving computational science (machine learning and modelling).
	Relevant experience with independent work is necessary.
	Proficiency with data analysis and collection software is required (i.e., Python, Matlab, LabVIEW, etc.). 
	Good understanding and experience with experimental electrochemistry.
	Experience with applying data driven approaches to batteries.
	Excellent written and oral English language and communication skills.
	Your education must correspond to a five-year Norwegian degree program, where 120 credits are obtained at master's level
	You must have a strong academic background from your previous studies and an average grade from the master's degree program, or equivalent education, which is equal to B or better compared with NTNU's grading scale. If you do not have letter grades from previous studies, you must have an equally good academic basis. If you have a weaker grade background, you may be assessed if you can document that you are particularly suitable for a PhD education.
	Master's students can apply, but the master's degree must be obtained and documented by the start date of the position.
	You must meet the requirements for admission to the faculty's doctoral program.
	 


The appointment is to be made in accordance with Regulations concerning the degrees of Philosophiae Doctor (PhD) and Philosodophiae Doctor (PhD) in artistic research national guidelines for appointment as PhD, post doctor and research assistant 

Preferred selection criteria


	This work involves a wide-range of technical competencies and skills. A strong academic background and a demonstrated capacity to learn new topics will be considered more relevant than industrial experience.
	Previous specialization and research within the area of batteries and data-driven sciences.
	Demonstrated capacity for multi-tasking and collaborative research.
	Applicants whose backgrounds may be subject to critical Export Control restrictions and regulations may be automatically disqualified.
	Candidates who can speak a Scandinavian language are preferred, but not essential.


Personal characteristics


	Enthusiastic and highly motivated
	Able to work effectively on their own and in a team
	Diligent, thorough, and hard-working
	Able to work structured and goal oriented with a drive to get projects finished
	Creative, good at finding solutions
	The applicant is expected to contribute to the social and environment and activities of the Sustainable Energy Systems group above and beyond the position itself. 


Emphasis will be placed on personal and interpersonal qualities.

We offer


	Exciting and stimulating tasks in a strong international academic environment
	An open and inclusive work environment with dedicated colleagues
	Favourable terms in the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund
	Employee benefits
