Join the National Research Council Canada as a postdoctoral fellow to pioneer innovative porous transport layer architectures for Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis, advancing sustainable hydrogen production technologies. This role offers hands-on research in electrochemistry and materials science within a leading national research institution.

The National Research Council Canada (NRC) is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to develop novel porous transport layer architectures for Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis (PEMWE). This position is part of NRC's commitment to advancing clean energy technologies and sustainable hydrogen production to support Canada's net-zero goals.

In this role, you will design, fabricate, and characterize advanced porous transport layers to enhance the performance, durability, and efficiency of PEMWE systems. Your work will involve materials synthesis, electrochemical testing, and performance optimization under various operating conditions. You will collaborate with a team of researchers and engineers to integrate these innovations into next-generation electrolyzers.

Key responsibilities include conducting literature reviews, performing experiments, analyzing data, and contributing to peer-reviewed publications and patent applications. This opportunity allows you to apply your expertise in electrochemistry and materials engineering to real-world challenges in renewable energy, with potential pathways to industry impact or further academic pursuits.

NRC provides a supportive research environment with access to advanced labs, including microscopy suites, electrochemical workstations, and high-performance computing resources. Join us in pushing the boundaries of green hydrogen technology.
