Researcher within Hydrogen Safety for Transport [0E] - Under tillsättning eller tillsatt, ej sökbar

Are you passionate about the safe use of hydrogen in transport? Do you possess a critical mind for risk assessment and analysing safety? Do you have experience of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles or electric drivelines and systems? Do you have a skill for driving safety within a project, and reasoning and motivating both in speech and in writing?  Then you might be the person we’re looking for!

Sweden is facing a gigantic transformation of the energy system, and in that transformation, RISE will play a big part. Together with industry, academia, and the public sector, we develop competitive solutions and conditions that drive sustainable development forward. But we need to grow, and we need your help. Your help to find new solutions for a sustainable future, together. Do you want to join us? We hope so!

About us
At Energy Conversion we are working with research within the area of electrification, from technical components within batteries and fuel cells, to complete concept studies. When the societal challenges become more complex, a powerful innovation partner is needed to offer solid support and contribute with several perspectives. The Energy Conversion team performs customer adapted research and contributes with expertise and strategic advice, supporting the development of a sustainable transport system within required technical areas. We cooperate with both large and small companies, research institutes, universities, and colleges around common challenges. We are now expanding our team with the aim of supporting our industrial partners and public sector partners in the transformation towards a fossil free transport system, and we are looking for a person who wants to work with analysis and to actively drive development forward.

About the role
The focus of the position is hydrogen safety for transport related applications including vehicles. As a researcher in our group, you will work with energy systems where hydrogen/fuel cells and batteries are included. You will work with research in the domain of hydrogen safety including writing reports and funding applications, and at times also with project management and projects outside of the transport area. Your work is important to support the transformation of the industry. Our team is the research hub within RISE for electrification of transport and vehicles, and you will complement our internal and external networks with your own unique competence and background.

You will be an important and valued team player in a dedicated and innovative group with significant competence, that values close cooperation within the team, with other departments and of course with our external partners. We understand the importance of teamwork when it comes to developing new innovations, and we consider you and your unique competence to be an essential part in strengthening our ability to innovate and lead research and development within hydrogen fuel cell applications.

Location: Borås, or other RISE locations

Who are you?
To become successful in the role we believe that you have a great interest and curiosity for hydrogen safety, and are structured, analytical, flexible, and dynamic. You have a critical mind when it comes to safety work and risk assessment, are not afraid to put safety first but contribute with innovative thinking to develop mitigating technical solutions. Furthermore, you have the ability of working both independently and in different teams. You work scientifically and dynamically in a structured manner while searching for solutions to complex questions, where you may also involve the team and other colleagues from RISE. You have a MSc or a PhD in an appropriate domain as well as related work experience with hydrogen in a safety context and different safety or risk analysis methods. It would be a merit to have work experience in the transport, transport infrastructure, or automotive sectors including work with hydrogen fuel cell vehicles or electric drivelines and systems. Earlier experience could also include fire safety or process industry engineering. Experience in the application or development of safety legislation and standards is an advantage. You have good communication skills in English and proficiency in Swedish is desirable. Earlier experience of writing applications and participation in research or development projects is considered a merit.

Are we right for each other?
Within RISE we are convinced that diversity contributes to an innovative environment where we together challenge boundaries and develop new knowledge and competence for the future. We won’t promise you an easy job, but we can promise you an exciting journey where we contribute together to a sustainable future.
