We are seeking to recruit a highly motivated Research Associate/Fellow to work with our lithium-sulfur battery team as part of the Faraday Institution LiStar project. Candidates must have (or almost completed) a PhD in physical chemistry, synthetic chemistry, electrochemistry, materials chemistry, or a related discipline. The candidate will work within the Nottingham Applied Materials and Interfaces Group at the University of Nottingham, reporting to Dr Lee Johnson, Dr Graham Newton, and Dr Darren Walsh.
