Research Assistant/Associate in Development and use of optical microscopy
to study battery materials
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in use of optical microscopy to study electrochemical processes in battery electrode materials.
You will work between the groups of Prof. Akshay Rao (https:// www. rao.oe.phy.cam.ac.uk/) and Prof. Dame Clare Grey (https: // www. ch.cam.ac.uk/group/grey/index), and build on our recent advances is developing optical microscopy as a new high-throughput operando characterisation tool to study ion transport, phase transitions and degradation in battery electrodes, both at the single-particle level and also across the electrode References 1-3.
You will join our growing interdisciplinary team and work in close collaboration with experimental and modelling groups around the UK via the Faraday Institution Degradation Project (https: // degradationproject.com/). You will be expected to participate actively in collaborations with other post-doctoral researchers and PhD students working within the Faraday Degradation project.
To be successful, you should have a strong background in electrochemistry and battery materials, have a PhD in Chemistry, Physics or a related area or have submitted, but not yet received, your PhD in related subject. A strong track record of high-quality research and an excellent publication record are essential. The ability to work well in a team will be crucial as projects will be highly collaborative, involving multiple universities and industrial partners. Experience with microscopy techniques and data analysis of large microscopy datasets would be a plus.
Appointment as a research associate is dependent on having a PhD including those who have submitted but not yet received their PhD (in which case appointment will initially be made at research assistant and amended to research associate when the PhD is awarded).
Please ensure that you upload your Curriculum Vitae (CV), a covering letter, and the names of two references, in the upload section of the online application. If you upload any additional documents which have not been requested, we will not be able to consider these as part of your application. Please submit your application by midnight on the closing date.
The position will start in on 1st July 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter for a period of 36 months.
We particularly encourage candidates from backgrounds historically underrepresented in STEM subjects to apply.
Deadline: Sunday 11th June 2023
