The North-West University (NWU) and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) have recently been appointed by the South African Department of Science and Technology (DST) to co-host a Centre of Competence in Hydrogen Production, Storage and Distribution (Hydrogen Infrastructure.) This Centre of Competence is a key component of the South African Hydrogen and Fuel Cells Technologies Research and Development Strategy. An exciting opportunity exists for an expert, in the field(s) of hydrogen production (especially electrolysis), storage and distribution as well as fuel cell technologies, to provide scientific guidance and leadership to the Centre of Competence, create an environment for technology transfer, mentor graduate students and grow the group in line with the DST's, NWU's and CSIRs vision for this Frontier Science and Technology Initiative.

The Hydrogen Infrastructure Centre of Competence will have strong collaboration with relevant national and international research partners and institutions.
