Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the Manufacture of Next Generation Battery Electrodes
salary: Research Grade 7: £36,024- £44,263 p.a
organization part: Department of Materials
further particulars: 179431 Job Description
application opening date: 2025-04-29T09:00:00+01:00
comment: We are seeking an outstanding candidate to work on the design, development and detailed investigation of solvent-free approaches to the fabrication of electrodes for Li ion batteries. The research forms part of a large multi- institution collaborative project entitled Next Generation Electrodes (Nextrode) funded by the UK’s Faraday Institution. The appointed person will collaborate with other researchers and technicians in the group, elsewhere within the Department and the University, and across the Nextrode consortium including industrial partners. The work will be primarily experimental focused on process development, electrode manufacture and performance assessment, but depending on the skills of the successful applicant, may also involve some aspects of modelling or data science. The post is funded until 30 March 2026, and may be extended subject to the availability and renewal of external funding. With a background in materials science, materials processing or related engineering or physical sciences discipline, you will be self-motivated, imaginative and able to plan and deliver a research project. You will have a PhD (or be near completion) in one of the above disciplines and have experience that is centred on experimental, hands-on manufacture related to battery fabrication. The overall aim of the Nextrode project is to seize the emergent opportunity in the manufacture of smart electrodes by investigating novel approaches to electrode design that can overcome current restrictions and how these designs can be realized at a scale and cost that makes them attractive to industry. Across the Nextrode consortium, the research involves elements of design, novel process and equipment development, modelling, manufacture, characterisation and data science. All applications must be made online using the Oxford University E-Recruitment system, no later than 12 noon on Tuesday 27 May 2025. You will be required to upload a CV and a Supporting Statement as part of your app…
