The Energy Research Institute @ NTU ( ) is a leading energy-focused research institute that addresses Singapore’s sustainability goals and supports global industry in development and deployment of innovative solutions in energy efficiency and distributed energy resources.

distinguishes itself through research excellence directed towards outcomes of industry relevance, with focus on systems-level research for tropical megacities.

The Institute integrates research across NTU in the context of the energy challenge, and then helps translate outcomes into industry and practice.

is committed to enable knowledge creation and technology transfer by building strong alliances with government agencies, leading industry players and SMEs and global universities to support Singapore’s national objectives.

These collaborations are ratified in part through the development of green buildings, renewable energy deployment, grid management systems, proliferation of energy efficient solutions, creation of a “car-lite” society, digitalisation of the energy system enabling a ubiquitous smart grid architecture and establishing low carbon districts.

has grown to be a centre-of-excellence for advanced research, development, and demonstration of innovative energy solutions with global impact.
For more details, please view Energy Research Institute @ NTU ( ) is seeking to hire a highly motivated and skilled Postdoctoral Research Fellow to develop direct ammonia proton-conducting solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs).

This role offers a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of fuel cell research, focusing on the fabrication, synthesis, and characterization of materials for SOFCs, with a particular emphasis on ammonia fuel applications.

The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in supporting research, managing laboratory operations, and collaborating with both internal and external partners.
Key Responsibilities

• Fabrication proton-conducting SOFCs.
• Synthesize and characterize materials for SOFC applications.
  
  
• Collaborate with external partners on ammonia-fueled SOFC research and development.
  
  
• Assist the Principal Investigator (PI) in managing research projects.
  
  
• Oversee daily laboratory operations, including experiments and safety protocols.
  
  
• Supervise and mentor researchers and students, ensuring adherence to best practices.
  
  
• Coordinate with vendors and technicians to meet the laboratory’s technical needs.
  
  
• Prepare interim reports, presentations, and documentation for ongoing research projects.
  

• Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g., solid oxide fuel cells, defect chemistry, high temperature catalysis).
  
  
• At least 3 years of experience in proton-conducting SOFCs.
• Proficiency in the fabrication and characterization of SOFCs, including TEM analysis.
  
  
• Strong expertise in defect chemistry and solid-state Ionics.
  
  
• Experience with materials characterization tools such as SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, and FIB.
  
  
• Familiarity with hydrogen carrier fuels, particularly ammonia, and related decomposition processes.
  
  
• Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken for research purposes.
  
  
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
  
  
• Demonstrated experience in project management and laboratory operations.
  
  
• Proven ability to supervise and mentor researchers and students.
