About this position
PhD student opportunity in advanced in situ characterization of electrochemical CO2 conversion catalysts and electrodes at the University of Toronto in collaboration with McMaster University. The project is co-supervised by Professor Aimy Bazylak (Bazylak Group, University of Toronto Engineering) and Professor Drew Higgins (McMaster University).
The research focuses on electrochemistry, electrochemical CO2 conversion, materials characterization, in situ/operando spectroscopy, tomography, and spectro-microscopy to understand how electrodes and catalysts behave under operating conditions. The post highlights work with advanced characterization techniques, including X-ray spectroscopy and synchrotron-based measurements, with travel to synchrotron facilities in Canada and abroad.
Applicants should have completed or be close to completing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a related science or engineering field. The ideal candidate will have strong motivation for sustainability research, analytical and critical thinking skills, teamwork across institutions, independent problem-solving ability, strong communication skills, and hands-on experience with laboratory tools or advanced instrumentation. Experience in electrochemical technologies such as electrolyzers, batteries, supercapacitors, or fuel cells is considered an asset, as is wet lab experience, instrument design/assembly, experimental R&D, and publication experience.
The position is based across the University of Toronto and McMaster University, with a collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment. The post does not specify stipend or tuition details.
How to apply: Send a cover letter, CV, and names of up to three referees in a single PDF to [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected]. Use the subject line “PhD Advanced Characterization”. Applications are reviewed immediately and accepted until the position is filled.
Funding details
The post says successful applicants will receive experience and training in experimental research and will work in a diverse, multi-disciplinary environment with collaboration opportunities. No stipend, tuition, or funding amount is specified in the post.
What's required
Applicants should have completed or be close to completing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a related area of science or engineering. Strong interest and motivation to address sustainability challenges are required, along with strong analytical skills, critical and creative thinking, the ability to work well in a team across McMaster University and the University of Toronto, independent problem-solving ability, strong oral and written communication skills, hands-on aptitude with tools or advanced instrumentation, safe and responsible laboratory practice, and the ability to split work tasks between the two universities. Desired experience includes experimental electrochemistry and electrochemical technologies (electrolyzers, batteries, supercapacitors, or fuel cells), materials characterization with X-ray spectroscopy, synchrotron-based measurements, wet chemical laboratory work, instrument design or assembly, experimental research and development, and contributing to peer-reviewed publications.
