About this position
University of Oxford is inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Mathematical Modelling of Batteries at the Mathematical Institute in Oxford, United Kingdom.
The project is part of the Faraday Institution Multi-Scale Mathematical Modeling Project (MSM). The successful candidate will work with Professor Jon Chapman on research in battery modelling, with a focus on asymptotics, homogenisation, and numerics to develop, analyse, and solve models of coupled electrochemistry, mechanics, and heat flow. The main scientific emphasis is on thermo-chemo-mechanical degradation of batteries.
This is a 41-month fixed-term postdoctoral position. It is funded by the Faraday Institution and includes opportunities to contribute a small amount of teaching, up to three hours per week during academic terms. The postholder will join a combined Oxford team spanning mathematics and engineering and will interact with researchers across the wider MSM project and industrial collaborators.
Applicants should be prepared for collaborative research and should arrange for two referees to send reference letters directly by the deadline. Informal enquiries may be directed to the HR Administrator at [email protected].
Deadline: 5 October 2026 at 12:00 noon UK time. Start date: by 1 November 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.
