The East Paris Institute of Chemistry and Materials (ICMPE, UPEC/CNRS) is offering a position as a Junior Professor Chair (tenure-track position), on the topic of solid-state hydrogen storage: “New materials for hydrogen storage”.
Teaching description
The recruited person will join the teaching team of the Chemistry & Geosciences disciplinary field of the Faculty of Science and Technology of UPEC, to ensure teaching and pedagogical responsibilities. The recruited person will participate in the chemistry education of the various Bachelor’s degrees and as part of the Master’s in Materials Science and Engineering. The recruited person should be a driving force in developing the current training offer, by proposing the opening of new courses directly linked to low carbon energy transition.
Teaching duties: 42 hours of lectures or 64 hours of practical or tutorial work
Research activity description
The recruited person will be part of the Metallurgy and Inorganic Materials department of ICMPE within the Hydrogen Matter Interaction research group. The recruited person will carry out experimental research activities in the field of solid-state chemistry and/or materials science comprising the synthesis of materials for hydrogen storage and the establishment of correlations between composition-structure-properties. These research activities will target the study of metal hydrides or complex hydrides or porous materials and/or metal/porous nanocomposites for reversible storage of hydrogen. This experimental work will be carried out in close collaboration with ICMPE chemists and theorists.
Human and financial resources: ANR is co-funding 200,000 € which includes €120,000 for funding a doctoral or post-doctoral student and other related costs of the project.
