Location: West Cambridge, Cambridge <\/p>\n
Salary: 24,289-36,661 <\/p>\n
A position exists for a Research Assistant\/Research Associate to work on the In-situ Characterisation of Nano-structured Silicon-based Lithium Ion Batteries. The post is in collaboration with Prof Grey of the University of Cambridge Chemistry Department and funded under ERC project \"InSituNANO\" which explores atomic level mechanisms that govern the growth and device behaviour of nanomaterials in realistic process environments. <\/p>\n
The successful candidate is expected to have or is close to obtaining a PhD in electrical engineering, chemistry, materials science or physics, and is required to have experience and a publication record in the use of nanomaterials, such as silicon nanowires, in Li ion batteries, as well as expertise in the characterisation of battery electrodes by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and X-ray diffraction. The post holder will be located in West Cambridge (Cambridge, UK), but will spend significant time also in the group of Prof. Grey in the Chemistry Department in central Cambridge. Tasks will include the development of appropriate research methods\/metrology, the undertaking of an ambitious, frontier research program, management tasks for worldwide collaborations incl. industry and the wide dissemination of results. <\/p>\n
The role holder will also have: experience and a publication record in the use of nanomaterials, such as silicon nanowires, in Li ion batteries, as well as expertise in the characterisation of battery electrodes by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and X-ray diffraction; ability to communicate ideas effectively with colleagues both orally and in writing; experience of research into the characterisation of battery electrodes by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and X-ray diffraction, also into the use of nanomaterials, such as silicon nanowires, in Li ion batteries; experience of writing research publications; interpersonal and leadership skills as required for interdisciplinary, collaborative research project and ability to manage own workload. <\/p>\n
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 12 months in the first instance. <\/p>\n
Once an offer of employment has been accepted, the successful candidate will be required to undergo a health assessment. <\/p>\n
