We invite applications for a postdoctoral researcher to join an ambitious, multidisciplinary project focused on advancing the performance of metal–sulfur batteries (lithium–sulfur, magnesium–sulfur, sodium–sulfur) through innovations in materials synthesis, interfacial engineering, and operando structural characterisation. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of next-generation energy storage systems by tackling fundamental and practical challenges across multiple research areas. The successful candidate will work on three main pillars of the project: Synthesis of Functional Battery Materials: The candidate will synthesise advanced carbon-based sulfur host materials with tailored porosity, electrical conductivity, and surface chemistry. The role also includes the synthesis of transition metal-based electrocatalysts to improve sulfur utilization. Precise Material Coatings for Interface Engineering: Techniques such as atomic layer deposition (ALD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), and sol-gel methods will be utilsed to deposit material coatings, such as metal oxides, nitrides, or hybrid materials, onto cathodes, metal anodes, and separators. These coatings will be designed to enhance interfacial stability, suppress polysulfide shuttling, and extend cycling life. Advanced Electrochemical and Structural Characterisation of Battery Materials: Electrochemical testing of metal–sulfur battery materials will include cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic cycling. Advanced operando techniques, including X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy will be employed to gain real-time insights into structural and chemical changes in battery materials during operation. Large datasets generated from electrochemical and structural characterisation will be analysed using data processing software, such as Python and MATLAB. This role will involve close collaboration with partners across electrochemistry, materials science, and large-scale research facilities. The postdoc will also contribute to mentoring students, preparing publications, and presenting results at major conferences.
