Postdoc position in development of binder for future battery applications

Chalmers as an employer

Reference number REF 2024-0654

Are you passionate about advancing lithium-ion batteries and driving innovation in next-generation batteries? Do you want to transform advanced electrode processing for electric vehicle batteries? If so, this postdoctoral position is your opportunity to make an impact while working in a collaborative research group focused on cutting-edge battery materials and manufacturing.

Project description

The lithium-ion battery market is expanding rapidly, driving the need for innovation in key components. Binders, crucial for electrode stability and long-term cycling performance, face challenges in both anode (especially silicon-based) and cathode applications. In this role, you will:

Develop new binder systems for electrode processing.

Synthesize and modify binders for innovative manufacturing processes.

Balance fundamental research with practical, application-driven outcomes.

You will work in a dynamic, multidisciplinary environment alongside academic and industry experts, with an emphasis on experimental research.

About the division

As part of the Division of Materials and Manufacture at the Department of Industrial and Materials Science (IMS), you will contribute to a broad spectrum of cutting-edge research:

Materials design, processing, and advanced characterization.

Technologies including surface modification, powder metallurgy, additive manufacturing, and material removal.

Our division fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, sustainability-focused research, and close partnerships with academia and industry, providing a stimulating environment to develop solutions with real-world impact.

Major responsibilities

Conduct independent research and collaborate with others in the research group.

Supervise Master's and/or PhD students (no teaching included).

Collaborate with academic and industrial partners.

Develop scientific concepts and communicate results in English.

Build experience valuable for future roles in academia, industry, or the public sector.

Qualifications

To qualify for this position you must:

have a doctoral degree or equivalent in chemistry or Materials Science or a relevant field, generally awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline*.

be fluent in English, both written and spoken.

have strong collaboration and communication skills.

have the ability to remain motivated and efficient despite challenges, working toward achieving high-quality results.

* The date shown in your doctoral degree certificate is the date we use, as this is the date you have met all requirements for the doctoral degree. Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave or military service.

Contract terms

This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for two years.

We offer excellent working conditions and access to world-class facilities and infrastructure.
