The Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division seeks a Postdoctoral Appointee to conduct research focused on the development of high-energy, long-cycle-life lithium–sulfur batteries employing both liquid and solid-state electrolytes using artificial intelligence, under the guidance of a supervisor.

The successful candidate will contribute to projects involving the synthesis, physical and chemical characterization, and electrochemical evaluation of sulfur cathodes in both coin-cell and pouch-cell formats.

This role includes establishing correlations between the physical and chemical properties of sulfur cathodes, electrolytes and their electrochemical performance. The candidate is also expected to have experience working with a range of liquid and solid electrolytes for lithium–sulfur battery systems.

In addition, the postdoctoral appointee will perform advanced characterization of battery materials using synchrotron-based X-ray techniques to develop mechanistic und...
