Additional experience in one or more of the following areas is further considered advantages:

  • Electrochemistry
  • Gas handling/Atex
  • High temperature or high pressure process work in an international environment
  • Project management
  • Hands-on experience (preferably from research lab) with electrical measurements for electrochemical characterization e.g. frequency analyzers for impedance spectroscopy, power supplies used for recording of polarization curves etc.

Other qualities

  • Writing and communication skills in English and preferably Danish
  • Experience and ability to work independently and to plan and carry out complicated tasks
  • Ability to be a part of a dynamic multi-disciplinary international work environment and to work closely together with Researchers, students as well as Research and Lab technicians

And preferably:
