Research Scientist Toyota Research Institute of North America, Ann Arbor, Michigan
Toyota Research Institute of North America, located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is seeking a full-time research scientist to support the in-house research activities. This individual will join a team responsible to develop next generation fuel cell technologies to enhance the performance of fuel cell electric vehicle. The position requires staying abreast of new fuel cell technologies, performing original research, publishing/presenting results, involve in collaborative research.
The position is subject to annually contract renewal.
Responsibilities: • Develop tools to virtually generate and model porous media with the goal to design efficient, low transport resistance porous materials. • Develop multi-scale models to simulate multiphase transport in porous media to bridge porous material properties with device-level fuel cell performance. • Design experiments to validate concepts and simulation results. • Work in close collaboration with colleagues specialized in material science to push forward R&D efforts.
Qualifications: • Ph.D. or equivalent in Mechanical, Chemical or Materials Engineering or a related discipline with an emphasis on simulation skills on fuel cell or two-phase transport phenomena. • Hands-on experience in one or more of the following areas is preferred: -Porous media modeling -Micro-scale multiphase transport -Fuel cell device/system modeling -Experience on Lattice-Boltzmann Method, finite element analysis software (COMSOL, ANSYS), or MATLAB • Strong track record of research capability in fuel cell, porous media, or related areas (i.e. heat transfer, etc). • Team player with strong communication skills.
