The successful candidate will join the Hydrogen and Power-to-X department of the research centre.

The successful candidate will be expected to perform the following tasks:

- Develop, create, and analyse CFD simulations of various types of energy storage, Power-to-X and hydrogen technologies.
- Foster collaborations with experimental researchers from CIIAE and beyond.
- Provide recommendations to decision makers based on modelling results.
-Successfully collaborate with universities, research institutes and companies at national and international level.
Write publications as first author and co-author (e.g., 1.5 paper p.a. in high-ranked journals).
- Write research proposals and contribute towards the acquisition of competitive funding, both private and/or public.
- Undertake project management and project administration responsibilities (internal and external) within the department, and within the CIIAE.
- Become gradually more independent, in order to conduct, manage and lead an independent project.

Challenge: The multi-scale nature of the processes driving the energy transition presents a significant scientific challenge in CFD. The underlying physics span a broad range of scales, from microscale properties that influence reactivity and advanced material development, to mesoscopic phenomenasuch as bubbling and clusteringthat govern transport and flow optimization, to the macroscopic limitations affecting mass and heat transport in full-scale units, such as reactors and fuel cells. A CFD methodology that is rigorous, validated, and tailored is essential for reliably predicting the performance and durability of next-generation energy storage, Power-to-X, and hydrogen conversion systems.
