We are recruiting a highly self-motivated PhD candidate on the cutting-edge simulation of hydrogen integration in energy systems. This project aims to explore the dynamic role of hydrogen as a sustainable energy carrier in our future energy systems. The successful candidate will engage in developing and utilising advanced simulation tools to analyse, optimise, and understand the complex interactions within energy systems where hydrogen plays a key role
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and implement innovative simulation models for hydrogen production, storage, and utilisation within energy systems.
- Conduct comprehensive system analysis to assess the efficiency, sustainability, and economic viability of hydrogen integration.
- Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to propose novel strategies for enhancing the role of hydrogen in energy systems.
Requirements:
How to apply:
Those interested should send a CV, personal statement (outlining how their relevant experience would make them a strong candidate for the project), prospective start time, transcripts, and contact details of two referees to [email protected]
Funding notes:
Funding will be provided to cover fees at UK rate plus a monthly stipend. International candidates are eligible to apply, but they are expected to cover the difference between international and UK fees by other means.
