About this position
Fully funded PhD opportunity in carbon dioxide conversion technologies, electrochemistry, and clean energy at the University of Toronto, co-supervised with McMaster University. The project title is Advanced In Situ Characterization of CO₂ Reduction Electrodes and is associated with the Bazylak Group and Higgins Group.
The research focuses on developing next-generation systems to convert CO₂ into useful products using electrochemical methods. The work includes CO₂ reduction, in situ/operando characterization, advanced spectroscopy, tomography, and spectro-microscopy, with a strong emphasis on sustainable energy technologies and advanced energy materials.
Applicants should have a bachelor's or master's degree in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or a related scientific/engineering field. The post also asks for strong interest in sustainability, excellent analytical and research skills, ability to work independently and in a team, and English language proficiency. Preferred experience includes electrochemistry, batteries, fuel cells, supercapacitors, materials characterization, X-ray spectroscopy, synchrotron measurements, wet chemistry, experimental instrumentation, R&D, and scientific publications.
Funding is described as fully funded, with participation in the nationally funded CANSTOREnergy project and collaboration with industrial, academic, and government partners. The opportunity also mentions access to synchrotron facilities in Canada and abroad.
To apply, prepare a single PDF containing a cover letter, CV, and the names and details of up to three academic references. Email the materials to the listed supervisors/research contacts. Applications are open until the position is filled, so early submission is recommended.
