Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Energy (110294 -0725)

About the Role 

For informal enquiries, please contact Patrick Unwin (Head of Department) p.r.unwin@warwick.ac.uk

We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.  

The Warwick Centre for Experimental Fuel Technology (CEFT) is focused on fundamental science that will advance the development of innovative next generation fuel cell and battery technologies. We use a range of innovative techniques and workflows developed at Warwick and invent new methods. The Centre is an exciting venture bringing together leading research groups in the Department of Chemistry, Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) and the School of Engineering at the University of Warwick. With world-leading expertise and facilities in electrochemistry, materials chemistry, spectroscopy, microscopy, modelling and battery and fuel cell construction and testing, we aim to develop next generation electrochemical energy technologies through holistic views of fuel cells (especially ammonia fuel cells) and metal and metal ion (Li, Na, Ca etc.) batteries, from the nanoscale to device level. Other fuel cell and charge storage technologies can also be explored as part of the Centre.  

This fellowship role provides an excellent opportunity to lead our efforts in energy storage (battery and supercapacitor science), by combining nanoscale electrochemistry, microscopy and imaging, and operando measurements. We shall take nanoscale understanding of charge storage through the length scales to inform the development of practical devices.

This is a great opportunity for an individual with imaginative ideas and aspirations to make a significant contribution to strategically important and growing area at the University of Warwick that will have global impact and visibility.
