About this position

The University of Oxford is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join Professor Mauro Pasta's group in the Department of Materials. The position focuses on the synthesis of sulphide-based solid electrolytes for solid-state batteries, with an emphasis on understanding how synthesis and composition affect properties such as processability, electrochemical stability, and mechanical behaviour, beyond just ionic conductivity.

This opportunity is ideal for candidates with a strong background in materials science, chemistry, or chemical engineering, particularly those with experience in battery materials and electrochemistry. The successful applicant will work in a leading research environment, contributing to advancements in next-generation battery technologies.

Applicants should hold a PhD in a relevant field and demonstrate expertise in the synthesis and characterization of solid electrolytes or related materials. Strong communication and teamwork skills are essential. The position is based at the University of Oxford, UK, and offers the chance to collaborate with world-class researchers in a dynamic and innovative setting.

The application deadline is 5 January 2025. For more information and to apply, visit the official University of Oxford recruitment portal. Informal inquiries can be directed to Professor Mauro Pasta via LinkedIn.
