PhD Studentship in Predictive Modelling of Battery Ageing Across the Scales University of Warwick in United Kingdom

PhD positions in Battery Research are available at the DLR Institute for Technical Thermodynamics in Ulm, Germany . The team is growing and is looking for engineers and researchers to strengthen battery simulation and development activities in three areas: analysis and optimisation of solid-state batteries , development of new electrolyte concepts for high-performance lithium-ion batteries , and modelling and simulation of lithium-sulfur batteries . This opportunity is especially relevant for ca...

Lancaster University’s Chemistry Department is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship in chemistry , materials science , and battery science . The project is supervised by Dr Michael Mercer and Prof Abbie Trewin and is part of the Faraday Institution PhD Training Programme . The research focuses on exploiting recent developments in Organically Synthesized Porous Carbon (OSPC) developed by Gavion Ltd. The project will investigate how OSPC performs compared with standard graphite anodes in lit...

PhD Studentship at the University of Warwick in the Centre for Doctoral Training in the Modelling of Heterogeneous Materials (HetSys), School of Engineering. This project, SEGMENT (SEGregation of residual eleMENTs at Austenite Grain Boundaries in Recycled Steels), focuses on materials science , computational materials modelling , atomic-scale simulations , machine learning , and steel recycling . The research investigates how residual elements such as copper and tin segregate at austenite/austen...

The International Max Planck Research School for Sustainable Metallurgy (SusMet) offers a structured, interdisciplinary PhD programme focused on pioneering carbon-free approaches to metallurgy. Hosted by the Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials in cooperation with Ruhr University Bochum and University Duisburg-Essen, the programme is based in the vibrant Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region of Germany. The doctoral curriculum is conducted entirely in English and spans three years, with a sta...

PhD Studentship at the University of Warwick (WMG) in lithium-ion batteries , with a focus on lithium plating diagnostics , X-ray diffraction , neutron scattering , and small-angle scattering . This project addresses one of the most dangerous failure mechanisms in lithium-ion batteries: metallic lithium plating under aggressive cycling conditions. The successful candidate will develop a quantitative, non-destructive, in-situ diagnostic methodology to distinguish lithium plating from normal inter...
