Research associate in graphene-based energy storage devices

Last updated on Fri 22/07/2022 - 14:54

A job opening for work within an EPSRC-funded, cross-disciplinary team to develop next-generation, power / energy-dense super-capacitor and battery storage devices using graphene-based materials.

The job holder will also be part of a much wider team of researchers at Manchester who have been at the forefront of graphene research since its discovery in 2004. 

Applicants are to hold, or be about to obtain, a PhD in electrical engineering or electrochemistry. They must also have practical experience of using and instrumenting electrical systems, with experience in the modelling and testing of super-capacitors / batteries being a distinct advantage. They should be able to interact effectively with researchers from other disciplines and industrial partners.
