ABOUT THE ROLE
The Department of Chemical Engineering deliver internationally excellent and world-leading research in advanced solutions for sustainable resources, processes and materials. The primary emphasis for the appointed postholder will be on achieving research excellence, producing world-leading publications, securing competitive funding, and creating real-world impact.
We invite applications from highly enthusiastic candidates with strong research expertise in electrochemical energy storage research. The post is intended as a fix term contract (3 years –a replacement for a staff member who is currently on a research fellowship) with a specific research focus on sodium-ion batteries prototyping. Particularly we are looking for candidates with expertise in large format cells assembly (multi layer pouch and cylindrical), electrode coating technologies and cathode production. An excellent track record in electrochemical characterization of battery systems is a must.
The selected candidate will become a member of the energy storage group within Chemical Engineering which specialises in next-generation battery technologies and benefit from a wide range of industrial links. The candidate is expected to produce excellent publications, securing competitive funding and contribute towards the group’s knowledge transfer activities. Moreover, the successful candidate will bring expertise and skills that complement the existing strengths, thereby enhancing our capacity in battery research across the faculty.
In addition to their research endeavours, the appointed candidate will contribute to the teaching of analytical and solid state chemistry across the departments of Chemical and Materials engineering. We highly value individuals who prioritize the student learning experience and contribute to the evolution of a contemporary curriculum, grounded in practical laboratory experiences and project-based learning.
