Urgent recruitment for a PhD (36 months) or Postdoctoral (18 months) position in next-generation hybrid solid electrolytes for lithium batteries (NextHyBat) at SyMMES (CEA / CNRS / Université Grenoble Alpes), Grenoble, France . The project is funded by the MaterIAlps LabEx and focuses on the links between chemistry , nanostructure , molecular dynamics , and ion transport in hybrid solid electrolytes. The selected candidate will work with Prof. Laurent Gonon and Dr. Hakima Mendil-Jakani , with collaboration across SyMMES, CERMAV, G2Elab, CEA-Liten, and neutron experiments at the ILL. Research activities include synthesis of hybrid electrolytes, multiscale structural characterization (SAXS/SANS, AFM, SEM, TEM), ion transport studies, electrochemical testing in coin cells, and development of bio-based electrolytes using nanocellulose and recycling of the ionomer. Eligibility highlights: PhD applicants should have an M2 or engineering degree in materials science, polymer science, physical chemistry, or electrochemistry. Postdoc applicants should hold a PhD in a related field and have relevant research experience. How to apply: Email a CV, cover letter, and referees to [email protected] and [email protected]. PhD applicants should add Master's transcripts; postdoc applicants should add a summary of PhD research and relevant experience. Funding: The position is funded by MaterIAlps LabEx. Start date is as soon as possible, ideally before the end of 2026.
