Postdoctoral Position: New Materials for Redox-Flow and Zinc-Ion Batteries

Postdoctoral Position: New Materials for Redox-Flow and Zinc-Ion Batteries

The Laboratory of Photonics and Interfaces (LPI) at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher to join our battery team, which focuses on the development of new materials for redox-flow and zinc-ion batteries. Collaborating closely with our industrial partners and an experienced team of postdoctoral and senior researchers, we aim to create redox flow and zinc-ion batteries for stationary applications. The primary objective of this project is to advance the established vanadium redox-flow and MnO2-based zinc-ion systems and explore novel alternatives for electrodes and electrolytes.

 

Job Description

  • As a Postdoc in our team, you will play a key role in advancing the field of redox-flow and zinc-ion batteries through the synthesis, characterization, and testing of new materials. The main duties and responsibilities of this position include:

    - Leading experiments for the synthesis, characterization, and testing of new materials designed for redox-flow and zinc-ion batteries.

    - Evaluating the performance of these materials in both standard electrochemical cells and battery systems.

    - Providing supervision and guidance to master and intern students working on related projects.

    - Contributing to the preparation of publications to disseminate research findings.

Profile

  • To be successful in this role, we expect the following qualifications and skills:

    - A Ph.D. in chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, or a closely related field.

    - A strong background in electrochemistry with a focus on batteries.

    - Advanced knowledge in materials characterization techniques.

    - Demonstrated creativity, self-motivation, and a passion for scientific exploration.

    - Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with team members.

    - Strong team-player mentality to foster a collaborative and supportive work environment.

We offer

  • By joining our dynamic, interdisciplinary, multi-cultural, and internationally renowned research group, you will have access to state-of-the-art synthesis, device fabrication, and characterization techniques. We value a positive working atmosphere and are committed to providing ample opportunities for both your professional and personal development.

Information

To apply for this position, please submit the following documents via the EPFL recruiting platform:

- A motivation letter detailing your interests and qualifications for the role.

- An updated CV and publication list showcasing your academic achievements.

- Contact information for two referees who can provide insights into your capabilities.

For further information about the position, please contact Felix Eickemeyer (felix.eickemeyer@epfl.ch)

 

Contract and Duration

The initial appointment will be for one year, with the possibility of extension based on the success of the project.

We look forward to receiving your application and welcoming you to our team dedicated to driving innovation in redox-flow and zinc-ion batteries and their applications.
