Postdoctoral Fellow (Electrolyte and Materials Interfaces for Batteries) Full-time

Postdoctoral Fellow Position

At EI2 Lab, we focus on advancing electrochemistry, materials, and engineering as an integrated platform to build technologies for a sustainable and resilient future. We aim to understand the ion/electron transportation in the conductor, and the chemo-electro-mechanics behavior at these materials interface. By understanding and ultimately controlling these interfaces, we will enable the development of advanced energy systems and electronic devices, including high energy Li/Na batteries, all-solid-state batteries, sensors, switch, electrochemical transistors, with scalable architectures for real-world applications.

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to drive independent research in next-generation electrochemical energy systems; support interdisciplinary collaborations across materials science, electrochemistry, and mechanics; mentor graduate and undergraduate students in the lab. The role will contribute to cutting-edge research in electrochemical energy storage and conversion, with a focus on solid-state batteries, interfacial chemistry, electro-chemo-mechanics, and novel energy materials.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct advanced research on solid-state batteries; high energy batteries; materials synthesis; materials for electronic devices like sensors, semiconductors, switch, transistors.
• Design and perform electrochemical, mechanical, and advanced materials characterizations.
• Collaborate with internal and external academic/industrial partners on joint projects.
• Prepare manuscripts for high-impact journal publications and present at international conferences.
• Contribute to grant proposal writing and new project development.
• Mentor and supervise PhD, Master's, and undergraduate students in the laboratory.

Job Requirements:

• Pending conferment PhD degree in Materials Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
• At least 3 years of relevant experience in similar role / technical hands-on experience in materials synthesis, electrochemical testing, and advanced characterization techniques.
• Familiarity with electrochemistry and battery research.
• Proven track record of high-quality research publications in peer-reviewed journals.
• Good written and oral communication skills.
• Proficiency in electrochemical testing (EIS, CV, galvanostatic cycling), advanced material characterization (XPS, SEM/TEM, XRD), data analysis, and numerical/analytical skills.
• Competent in project management.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in an interdisciplinary team.
• Entry-level candidates are welcome to apply.
• Ability to build rapport and influence stakeholders at all levels.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
• Possesses international experience, with a strong network of contacts in the region.
