About this position
Postdoctoral Fellow Opening in All-Solid-State Lithium–Sulfur Batteries at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM), Saudi Arabia.
This opportunity is in the battery research group of Hun Kim, Assistant Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and affiliated with the Interdisciplinary Research Center for Sustainable Energy Systems (IRC-SES). The project focuses on all-solid-state lithium–sulfur batteries, including sulfur-based composite cathodes, sulfide solid electrolytes, electrode–electrolyte interfaces, degradation analysis, and translation toward pouch-cell formats.
Academic background and skills: Applicants should hold a PhD in Materials Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Electrochemistry, Energy Engineering, or a related field. The post emphasizes strong experimental and publication experience in secondary batteries, plus hands-on skills in battery fabrication, electrochemical testing, and materials characterization. Strong scientific writing and communication skills are required. Experience with solid-state batteries, Li–S batteries, silicon anodes, or pouch-cell fabrication is preferred.
Location: KFUPM, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.
Application deadline: September 30, 2026, 11:59 PM (Saudi Arabia time).
How to apply: Submit your academic and research information, a brief summary of relevant experience, earliest possible start date, and one PDF containing your CV and complete publication list via the application form. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for interview and may be asked for additional materials or references.
Research keywords: materials science, chemistry, chemical engineering, electrochemistry, energy engineering, solid-state batteries, lithium–sulfur batteries, battery fabrication, electrochemical testing, materials characterization, pouch-cell development.
