Fully Funded PhD Studentship in Fire Safety for New Battery Materials at King's College London King's College London in United Kingdom

King's College London is advertising a fully funded 4-year PhD studentship in fire safety for new battery materials, supervised by Francesco Restuccia and Dr Laura Lander, and sponsored by the Faraday Institution as part of its 9th PhD cohort starting in October 2026.

The project is focused on the quantification of fire safety for emerging battery materials, with particular attention to cell-level stability and propensity to fire risk. This is a strong fit for students interested in battery materials, energy storage, materials science, chemical engineering, and related electrochemical safety research.

The studentship is for home-fees students only. The Faraday PhD cohort also includes a substantial training programme valued at £20,000 and a generous travel budget. The post does not mention a tuition waiver separately, but it is described as fully funded.

Applicants are asked to confirm that they meet the UK Home tuition fee residency and settled status requirements. Interested candidates should email [email protected] and complete the linked survey/application form.

This opportunity is based at King's College London in the United Kingdom and is part of a wider Faraday Institution battery PhD cohort process.
