Modelling Electrochemical Interfaces

This PhD project focuses on the modelling of electrochemical interfaces to advance our understanding of key energy conversion processes. The work will be conducted within an internationally renowned research group at ICIQ, a leading chemical research institution dedicated to sustainability and innovation. You will perform an individual research project under the guidance of Prof. Núria López, incorporating theoretical and computational approaches to study electrochemical systems. Opportunities include international research stays, and participation in the comprehensive SHARP training program covering technical skills, entrepreneurship, IP management, and career development. Expected Outcomes The project aims to generate novel insights and models that improve the efficiency of electrochemical processes relevant to energy and catalysis fields, contributing to scientific progress and potential technological applications. Why It Matters Understanding electrochemical interfaces is critical for developing sustainable energy technologies and addressing global challenges in energy and environment. This research supports efforts toward cleaner energy solutions and the reduction of environmental impact.

Candidates must hold or be completing a Master’s degree in Chemistry, Physics, Chemical Engineering, or related disciplines by enrolment. Required documents include a CV, personal statement, official transcripts (with certified translations if needed), references, and evidence of English proficiency (recommended B2 or equivalent).

Submit a full CV and personal statement (PDF), official transcripts (certified English translations if applicable), and contact details for two academic referees. English proficiency evidence is desirable but can be assessed by interview. Applications should align with ICIQ research groups and demonstrate research motivation.
