Research Fellow in Electrochemistry

Full Time Fixed Term until 05/07/2028

Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates with strong skills and relevant experience for a postdoctoral research fellowship on the EPSRC-funded EXPRESS Programme Grant, ’Exploiting Single Source Precursors for the Electrochemical Growth of Functional 1D and 2D Metal Dichalcogenide Semiconductors’. EXPRESS is a flagship, interdisciplinary 5-year research programme led jointly by the Universities of Southampton and Warwick, bringing together internationally leading teams from across chemistry, physics and electronic engineering. 

The Programme aims to deliver a step-change in the understanding and control of electrochemical growth of functional TMDC semiconductors, combining precursor design and synthesis, electrochemistry, theory, advanced characterisation and device integration. In addition to the essential disciplinary research skills, candidates should demonstrate genuine enthusiasm for collaborative working, the ability to communicate effectively across disciplines, and well-developed organisational skills.

This position is primarily concerned with the electrodeposition of transition metal dichalcogenides. The successful candidate will work within the electrochemistry team led by Phil Bartlett in the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the University of Southampton, and will be required to be flexible and interact effectively with colleagues across the wider EXPRESS consortium to fulfil the scientific goals of the Programme. 

The position is offered for until 05/07/2028 in the first instance, with the possibility of extension for up to 3 further years.

Please upload a CV and cover letter, detailing how you skills and experience match the requirements of the role, with your application.
