Postdoctoral position in Chemical, Biological Engineering and material science 2053 views

We have an exciting opportunity in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering for a Research Associates who will work on a SUPERGEN funded project, on developing high throughput microwave-assisted routes to battery materials. Working with Professor Serena Corr in the Functional Nonmaterial’s group, you will contribute to a project involving the synthesis, characterisation and property measurement of battery materials.

Eligibility Criteria:

1. If you have a PhD (or are close to completion/have equivalent experience) in a relevant subject and specialist theoretical and practical knowledge of solid state chemistry and materials characterisation, then we would love to hear from you.
2. The project will involve the use of microwave-heating methods to synthesis nanostructure cathode materials and solid state electrolytes, as well as their characterisation by X-ray diffraction, Li-ion battery assembly and testing. Relevant experience in any or all of these areas would be beneficial.
