Researcher for the Multi-Physics Battery Modelling Series

CIDETEC needs to recruit a researcher to work in the Multi-physics Modelling area in the Energy Materials Unit.

A researcher is required in the area of energy storage, capable of assisting in the development and implementation of multi-physics models for lithium ion and lithium metal batteries.

If you want to be part of this revolution, we are waiting for you!

Our work covers the entire value chain, from battery chemistry to the final application. We design and develop cells, modules and battery packs tailored to our customers’ needs, with a clear focus on technology transfer to industry. The researcher’s work will be related in the development and implementation of multi-physics models for lithium ion and lithium metal batteries.

Your contribution

You will form part of a state-of-the-art research centre, geared to sustainability and the circular economy, which has helped electrify Spain’s roads and is now working towards 100% future sustainability.

The developer will join the Energy Materials Unit, working on the development of battery technologies. They must be capable of carrying out several lines of work simultaneously, optimising resources and maximising results.

The researcher will work independently, according to the defined work plan.

They will be in charge of implementing new mechanisms and features on an existing battery simulation code. This will require knowledge of Python programming as well as fluency in deducing and implementing variational formulations for complex models.

Your work will focus on the following activities:

• Generating new ideas/concepts and implementing them.
• They will assist in producing documentation related to the search for funding.
• Strong product/market/result orientation (deadline, cost, time)
• Achievement of the forecasts defined in the annual plans.
• Continuous monitoring of the state of the art and the market.
