The Department of Materials and Environmental Chemistry, Stockholm University is one of the leading departments in inorganic materials chemistry www.mmk.su.se. We seek a post-doctoral scientist to perform research on energy related materials with technological applications in the fields of batteries and fuel cells. The work will make extensive use of the neutron diffraction technique and be in collaboration with the ISIS facility, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, England www.isis.stfc.ac.uk, which is a world leading facility for neutron research. Specific topics include the design of neutron diffraction instrumentation at ISIS and the development of novel characterisation facilities, including in-situ neutron diffraction studies of Ni- and metal hydride electrodes used in metal hydride batteries and simultaneous conductivity-diffraction studies of metal oxides for use in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells.
Eligibility
The applicant should have a PhD in Chemistry or Physics with a strong focus on solid state chemistry or similar qualifications. Experience of diffraction techniques, and in particular neutron diffraction methods, is an advantage. The applicant needs to have a PhD not older than 3 years.
