For informal enquiries, please contact Melanie Loveridge (Associate Professor - Reader (Research Focussed)) M.Loveridge@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.
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
The Warwick Centre for Experimental Fuel Technology (CEFT) is aiming to develop innovative next generation battery and fuel cell technologies.
A key feature of the Centre’s work is that novel & applied technology innovations will be underpinned by fundamental understanding, using a range of innovative techniques and characterisation facilities already available at Warwick or by developing new methods.
The Centre is an exciting venture bringing together leading research groups in WMG, ,the Department of Chemistry 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 battery technologies can also be explored as part of the Centre.
This role will focus on leading our efforts in developing solid-state batteries and electrolytes (including scalable approaches) with comprehensive electrochemical testing in multiple formats. Characterisation will feature strongly in terms of structure / chemistry characterisation to underpin the electrochemistry developments.
You will have a PhD or equivalent experience in a relevant area of Chemistry, Physics or Materials Science (or at least be close to submitting your thesis).
You will have extensive experience of electrochemical testing of materials and cell fabrication experience. This ideally includes development and testing of solid-state energy storage devices and Li metal anodes. You will have knowledge, or an interest in, using such materials for in energy-related applications such as batteries and ionic conducting membranes.
You will be experienced in the analysis of physical and chemical characterisation data to analyse structure and chemical properties of materials (XRD, NMR, various microscopies).
You will have experience of other materials characterisation methods, such as spectroscopic methods X-ray, vibrational spectroscopy, for example) to characterise local atomic environment of materials. Any synchrotron-based experience would be advantageous, where you might have supported or helped to lead experiments.
You will have a evidenced publication record, with high quality publications in electrochemical materials, battery-related research and characterisation synthesis. You will have significant experience of poster and talk presentations at national and international conference meetings.
You will be collegiate and able to demonstrate that you have worked effectively and collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams.
For further information regarding the skills required for this role please see the personal specification section of the attached job description.
If you are near submission or have recently submitted your PhD but have not yet had it conferred, any offers of employment will be made as Research Assistant at the top of level 5 of the University grade structure. Upon receipt of evidence of the successful award of your PhD, you will be promoted to Research Fellow on the first point of level 6 of the University grade structure.
