Role Summary
A Research Fellow position is available until March 2025 for candidates with expertise in experimental materials chemistry, battery chemistry or recycling, joining an interdisciplinary team of researchers in the groups of Dr Phoebe Allan, Prof. Paul Anderson and Prof. Peter Slater.
The post is a fixed term Research Fellow position funded by the research grant “Recycling and Reuse of EV batteries (ReLiB)” that is provided by the Faraday Institution, the UK’s independent institute for electrochemical energy storage research and skills development. The Faraday Institution vision is to bring together scientists and industry partners on research projects to reduce battery cost, weight, and volume; to improve performance and reliability (The Faraday Institution - Powering Britain’s Battery Revolution).
