About this position

Postdoc and PhD opportunities in polymer and materials science at the University of Sydney !

We are looking for one postdoctoral research associate and two PhD students to join us on our project on "nanostructured materials for high-power high-capacity lithium ion batteries" - recently funded by the Office of National Intelligence. Candidates much be Australian citizen or permanent resident. They will be working under the joint supervision of Chris Ling, Markus Müllner and Wesley Dose in the School of Chemistry at the University of Sydney.

More info on the roles:
- Full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate (LevelA6, up to three years) with a PhD in chemistry, physics, or materials science and ideally expertise in electrochemistry. Their project will involve polymer chemistry, templating, battery construction, testing and analytics. Opportunities for independent research project management and co-supervision of students.
- PhD1: Full scholarship ($41,753 p.a.) to develop high surface area polymers/hybrid materials, including their characterisation and testing in batteries.
- PhD2: Full scholarship ($41,753 p.a.) to develop new electrolyte compositions and interrogate interfacial phenomena and cycling stability in batteries.
