Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Solid-State NMR for Energy Materials
Join a cutting-edge project to advance renewable energy storage using advanced solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
Best for:Best for postdoctoral researchers with expertise in solid-state NMR spectroscopy, electrochemical energy storage, and materials characterization seeking a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment.
Overview
This postdoctoral position at the University of Warwick focuses on accelerating the development of novel materials for renewable energy generation and storage. The successful candidate will leverage solid-state NMR spectroscopy to investigate atomic-scale structures and dynamics in battery and supercapacitor systems, with potential extensions to halide perovskite photovoltaics and metal-organic frameworks. The role involves collaborative research, training PhD students, and utilizing state-of-the-art NMR facilities, including world-leading spectrometers. The project is EPSRC-funded and aims to generate real-world impact through innovative materials and techniques.
What you'll do
- Conduct advanced solid-state NMR spectroscopy to analyze atomic-scale structures and dynamics in battery and supercapacitor materials.
- Develop and apply *in situ/operando* NMR techniques to study material performance under real-world conditions.
- Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to integrate findings into broader energy materials research projects.
- Support the training and mentorship of PhD students within the research group.
- Contribute to the publication of research findings in high-impact scientific journals.
- Utilize state-of-the-art NMR facilities, including 7 solid-state NMR spectrometers and world-leading high-field spectrometers.
- Participate in collaborative research initiatives, including potential extensions to halide perovskite photovoltaics and metal-organic frameworks.
