About the position
Research Assistant/Associate in Emulsion Templating of Battery Materials
University of Cambridge
Cambridge, United Kingdom
GBP 33,002 - 46,049 per year
Applications are invited for an experimental postdoctoral researcher to create architected materials using protein guided assembly in micro-emulsion templates. The researcher will be part of the NanoManufacturing group in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge, which looks at various aspects of nanotechnology and manufacturing processes as well as energy storage systems. This work will be carried out in close collaboration with other leading research teams in Cambridge as well as Liverpool and the Netherlands. Collaborating with these groups will create a stimulating work environment with exciting opportunities for personal development and learning about different fields of research. This is a diverse team that values collaboration, scientific excellence and research integrity and the project's goal is to reduce our reliance on rare earths and critical minerals in Li-Ion battery cathodes and magnets.
The selected candidate will play a key role in the development of scalable droplet generation tools such as membrane emulsification and ink-jet printing as templates for protein guided assembly and bio-mineralisation. These structured materials will then be evaluated in Li-ion batteries, which is a research area in which the host group specialises. We will consider candidates with various research backgrounds including physical chemistry, engineering and material science. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in emulsion-templating, colloidal self-assembly, and/or Li-ion batteries. Applicants are required to have a PhD or being close to obtaining a PhD.
