The
Fuel Cells and Solid State Chemistry Division at Risø DTU is seeking a
PhD student to develop and process new types of oxide thermoelectric
materials for use in conversion of heat into electricity.
Thermoelectric power conversion is a promising technology for waste heat
recovery in a broad variety of applications, e.g. transportation,
building and industry. A thermoelectric device works by converting a
certain temperature difference into an electric potential to generate
power.
You will be part of a large project which aim to develop and demonstrate
high-temperature efficient thermoelectric oxide modules integrated in a
converter system.
This will take place at the international front line in
collaboration between Risø DTU and four leading laboratories in Denmark,
Japan and the US, while industry participation ensures strong links to
both technology providers and end-users.
The project
A major challenge in thermoelectric materials development is to
manipulate the structure and physical properties in order to improve
thermoelectric power, electrical conductivity and simultaneously reduce
thermal conductivity. The project is focussed on the development of
novel thermoelectric oxide materials (especially n-type) such as ZnO
doped materials (ZnO:Al,Ga) with nanoinclusion, characterisation
techniques of thermoelectric materials and the integration of these
materials in a thermoelectric module for high temperature applications.
Qualifications
- Master’s degree in chemistry, physics, materials science or similar
- Knowledge in synthesis of inorganic materials preferably oxides
- Prior knowledge in the area of thermoelectricity is beneficial
- Experience with experimental methods for materials processing and characterization
- Ability to work independently, to plan and carry out complicated tasks, and to be a part of a large, dynamical group
- Good communication skills in English, both written and spoken
We offer
We offer an exciting and challenging job in an international environment.
Good possibilities for professional and personal growth.
A family friendly organisation with flexible working hours.
Approval and Enrolment
The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval,
and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree
programmes of DTU. For information about the general requirements for
enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please
see theDTU PhD Guide.
Salary and appointment terms
The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules
for PhD degree students. The period of employment is 3 years.
Application
We must have your online application by 15 february 2011. Please open
the link "apply for this job online", fill in the application form and
attach the following documents;
a) A letter motivating the application (cover letter)
b) Curriculum vitae
c) Grade transcripts and BSc/MSc diploma
d) Conversion of grade averages to Danish grades (see guidelines and excel spreadsheet for the conversion here).
Candidates may apply prior to obtaining their master's degree, but cannot begin before having received it.
All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, race, inability, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply.

The project
A major challenge in thermoelectric materials development is to combine a
number of materials belonging to different families of materials
together in order to improve the conversion efficiency and to expand the
working temperature range of the thermoelectric device. The project is
focussed on the construction and optimization of p- and n-type segments
over a broad temperature range by graded materials. This will be done in
order to improve the so-called compatibility factor between the
materials in each leg. The materials are chosen among the best of
state-of-the-art materials and the novel developed thermoelectric
oxides.
