About this position

The Department of Materials at the University of Oxford, in collaboration with The Faraday Institution, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join the 3D-CAT project. The successful candidate will work under the supervision of Associate Professor Robert House and be part of the House Group, which focuses on the development of next-generation energy storage materials, particularly for Li-ion batteries. The research aims to advance materials development for disordered cathode materials, contributing to the creation of batteries with higher energy densities and improved sustainability.

The House Group is based in Oxford’s Centre for Energy Materials Research and is recognized for its innovative approach to sustainable battery technologies. The group integrates advanced synthesis, electrochemical testing, and materials characterization to design and evaluate new cathode materials. Research activities include the development of novel compositions, structural design, and the exploration of multi-electron redox processes. The group maintains strong collaborations with national and international research facilities, including the Faraday Institution and the Henry Royce Institute, and utilizes state-of-the-art laboratories for comprehensive battery research.

This postdoctoral position is ideal for candidates with a strong background in materials science, chemistry, or related fields, and with experience in battery materials research. The role offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in sustainable energy storage, with a focus on practical applications that support the transition to net zero. The position is fully funded as part of the 3D-CAT project, though specific salary details are not provided in the announcement.

Applicants should hold a PhD in a relevant discipline and demonstrate expertise in synthesis, electrochemical testing, and materials characterization. The ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team is essential. The closing date for applications is 12 noon on 6th March 2026. Interested candidates should review the job details and apply via the University of Oxford job portal. For more information about the group and research activities, visit the House Group website.

Funding details

The position is funded as part of the 3D-CAT project with The Faraday Institution. Specific details on stipend amount or tuition are not provided, but postdoctoral positions at University of Oxford are typically fully funded with a competitive salary.

What's required

Applicants should have a PhD in materials science, chemistry, or a closely related field. Experience in battery materials, synthesis, electrochemical testing, and materials characterization is highly desirable. Strong research background in energy storage materials and ability to work collaboratively within a research group are preferred. No specific GPA or language test requirements are mentioned.
