PhD Fellowship in Organic Electrode Materials for Battery Applications (Polymer Chemistry, Electrochemistry)

A PhD fellowship is available in Dr. Nicolas Goujon's group at the University of the Basque Country (EHU), Spain, focusing on the development and characterization of new organic electrode materials based on redox polymers for solid-state organic batteries. The research is part of the European project TRANSBORDER, which aims to advance solid organic batteries for sustainable electric mobility and stationary storage applications. The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary and multicultural team and participate in a challenging 3-year research project. The main research areas include organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, electrochemistry, and materials science, with a strong emphasis on experimental work and communication skills. The project involves supporting the research activities of the TRANSBORDER project, developing innovative organic electrode materials, and characterizing their properties for use in solid-state batteries. This opportunity is ideal for students interested in energy engineering, battery technology, and advanced materials. Applicants should have a solid background in organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, and electrochemistry, along with strong experimental and communication skills. To apply, candidates must submit a cover letter, CV, a brief description of previous research (1-2 pages), and contact details of two academic referees. The application should be sent by email to Dr. Nicolas Goujon at [email protected] before February 13, 2026. While the post mentions a 3-year fellowship, specific details about funding or stipend are not provided. This PhD position offers the chance to work on cutting-edge research in battery materials within a European collaborative framework, providing valuable experience in both academic and applied research settings. Students with a passion for sustainable energy solutions and advanced materials are encouraged to apply.
