Postdoctoral Position in Lithium- and Sodium-Batteries: The Department of Chemistry – Ångström at Uppsala University invites applications for a two-year postdoctoral position focused on the development of stable electrode-electrolyte interfaces, particularly in the context of lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. This position offers a unique opportunity to work in a cutting-edge research environment with a focus on safer and more sustainable battery materials.
Designation: Postdoctoral Researcher
| Research Area | Location |
|---|---|
| Development of materials and their applications within the energy storage area | Uppsala, Sweden |
Eligibility/Qualification
- PhD degree or a foreign equivalent in Chemistry, Physics, or Materials Science.
- Degree must be obtained by the time of the employment decision.
- Applicants who have obtained their PhD degree within three years before the application deadline are primarily considered, with possible extensions for special circumstances (e.g., sick leave, parental leave).
Job Description
The main focus of the project is to investigate the development of stable electrode-electrolyte interfaces aimed at enabling safer battery materials. Responsibilities include:
