About this position
Postdoctoral Research Fellow – Sodium-Ion Batteries and Aqueous Metal-Ion Energy Storage
The National University of Singapore invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, within the College of Design and Engineering. The position is based at the Kent Ridge Campus in Singapore.
The successful candidate will conduct computational simulations and experimental research on sodium-ion batteries and other aqueous metal-ion rechargeable battery systems. The work will explore fundamental electrochemical processes, electrode materials, electrolytes, and battery performance, contributing to the development of next-generation rechargeable battery technologies.
Research activities may include the design, synthesis, characterization, and optimization of battery electrodes and electrolytes, together with the development of advanced simulation models. Candidates may use computational materials science methods such as molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculations, while also analyzing experimental and scientific data.
Applicants should hold a PhD in Materials Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or a closely related field. Relevant experience or a strong interest in rechargeable battery technologies, knowledge of electrochemical energy storage principles, and familiarity with battery materials and electrochemical processes are expected. The role also requires independent research ability, multidisciplinary collaboration, strong analytical and problem-solving skills, communication ability, and scientific writing skills.
Applications should be submitted through the National University of Singapore careers portal for Req ID 34842.
