Material Scientist - Hydrogen Production Research

About the role
We are looking for a mission-driven, experienced and climate-aware material 
scientist/theoretical chemist to help us understand the fundamentals of hydrogen production 
at a molecular level and interpret/analyze lab results on the tested catalysts. Results will allow 
for a better quantification of the catalytic effect enabling a more accurate and controlled design 
of the catalytic solutions. 
This position will be part of our client’s research team which includes several world-class 
researchers on the thermodynamics and geochemistry of stimulated hydrogen production. 

Your responsibilities

• Model at a molecular level the redox reactions leading to hydrogen production in the different 
  geological contexts of interest
• Analyze and interpret experimental data from catalysts testing in view of the model 
• Run molecular dynamic simulations to better understand the catalytic effect of the tested 
  compounds 
• and generally, support the R&D work for our client
  As an early hire in a fast-growing company, success means the role will evolve towards more 
  responsibilities. The candidate will play a key role in the overall technical developments, client
  success and overall climate impact. 

Required background

• PhD in theoretical chemistry, material science or equivalent 
• Experience in theoretical and numerical modeling of redox reactions 
• Experience in molecular dynamics 
• Hands on proven lab experience and autonomy
