Postdoc in New materials for sodium ion batteries – DTU Energy
Danmarks Tekniske Universitet
Job Description:The Department of Energy Conversion and Storage at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Energy) invites applications for a 2-year experimental postdoc position to work on synthesis, electrochemical characterization, and structural analysis of new sodium ion battery materials. The position is part of a combined computational and experimental project where we use novel computational methods to predict new sodium intercalation cathode materials and subsequently synthesize, characterize, and test the materials with most promising properties.Responsibilities and qualifications
The main focus of the postdoc work will be synthesis, structural characterization and determination of electrochemical properties of new and optimized cathode materials for sodium ion batteries. You will work closely with computational colleagues from DTU Energy in a project aimed at combining new computational methods and machine learning in an efficient search for new sodium ion battery cathode materials with superior performance, earth abundant elements composition, and good synthesizability. The project will focus on polyanionic materials (e.g. phosphates, silicates) with mixed transition metal content. The successful postdoc will be part of the section for Structural Analysis and Modelling and will work in close collaboration with the Autonomous Materials Discovery and Atomic Scale Materials Modelling sections at DTU Energy in an international, inspiring, and dynamic research environment.Main duties of the position include:
Candidates should have a PhD degree in experimental physics, chemistry, materials science or equivalent.The core skills for the project are:
Moreover, the successful candidate is:
We offer
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.Salary and terms of employment
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union.
Applications received after the deadline will not be considered.All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, disability, race, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply.DTU Energy
DTU Energy is focused on education, research, and development within functional materials and their application in sustainable energy technologies. In a sustainable energy system, a large part of the energy will be supplied by fluctuating sources such as solar and wind power. This makes it critically important to be able to convert and store the energy as needed. Our research areas include fuel and electrolysis cells, solar cells, and batteries as well as advanced filtration devices. We are ca. 250 employees. Additional information about the department can be found on .Technology for people
DTU develops technology for people. With our international elite research and study programmes, we are helping to create a better world and to solve the global challenges formulated in the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Hans Christian Ørsted founded DTU in 1829 with a clear mission to develop and create value using science and engineering to benefit society. That mission lives on today. DTU has 13,500 students and 6,000 employees. We work in an international atmosphere and have an inclusive, evolving, and informal working environment. DTU has campuses in all parts of Denmark and in Greenland, and we collaborate with the best universities around the world.
