Openings
Postdoctoral Positions Available
We have several postdoctoral positions available now. The topics are specified as below, but not limited to.
- Developing solid-state electrolytes with high ionic conductivity, good air stability, and low cost, including oxide electrolytes, sulfide electrolytes, and polymer electrolytes.
- The interface design of solid-state lithium batteries, aiming for overcoming interfacial challenges in solid-state lithium batteries using solid-state oxide, sulfide, or polymer electrolytes.
- Li/Na anode protection.
- Manufacturing of pouch cells.
If you have a good publication record and/or rich experience in solid-state lithium batteries. please contact Prof. Sun at xsun9@uwo.ca.
Ph.D. and Master Students
We also have positions for Ph.D. and Master students, focusing on the research and development of solid-state batteries.
- Advanced nanomaterials for Li-ion batteries, Na-ion batteries, Li-S, Li-O2, Na-O2 batteries.
- Single-atom catalysts for PEM fuel cells.
- Interface design for solid-state batteries via atomic layer deposition and/or molecular layer deposition.
- Li/Na anode protection.
We are looking for self-motivated and independent people who are dedicated to scientific study and addressing key challenges. If you are interested, please contact Prof. Sun at xsun9@uwo.ca.
