Exciting PhD positions are available at the School of Chemistry, University of New South Wales (UNSW), focusing on the design and synthesis of next-generation catalysts for fuel cells, electrolyzers, and CO2 reduction. The research will involve integrating these catalysts into electrochemical cells, with a strong emphasis on materials science, chemistry, and chemical engineering. The team is led by Professors Sagheer Ahmad and Chuan Zhao, who are seeking motivated students with a background in materials science, chemistry, or chemical engineering.

Applicants should have prior experience in electrochemistry and catalyst synthesis. Candidates with at least two first-author publications in relevant areas will be highly valued. The research group is internationally recognized for its work in computational materials, perovskites, DFT, and optoelectronics, providing a dynamic and collaborative environment for advanced research.

International and domestic applicants are encouraged to apply. The opportunity is ideal for students interested in catalysis, electrochemistry, fuel cells, and CO2 reduction, and who are eager to contribute to innovative research in materials science and chemistry at a leading Australian institution.
