Les missions du poste
Do you want your work to have an impact on the ongoing Energy Transition?
We are looking for a highly motivated post-doctoral researcher to work on a Carnot project dedicated to the development of air-stable solid electrolytes for Li-ion batteries to further facilitate their practical implementation. The project suggests chemical modification of the electrolyte, its advanced characterization using a set of physico-chemical methods including dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP)-enhanced solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements and representative tests in small-scale batteries. A multidisciplinary team is involved in the project with much excellence and expertise in the topic. An example of a recent related research can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ensm.2025.104742. New ideas, publications, patents and participation at international conferences are targeted

- Continuous literature screening during the project and making a review
Work in the multidisciplinary environment
- Data treatment, writing of reports with respect to deadlines, scientific publications and patent proposals
- Presenting the results internally and externally
Le profil recherché
Candidate's profile:
- PhD in Materials Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, or Electrochemistry.
- Knowledge of rechargeable batteries and a solid understanding of the associated scientific and technological challenges are essential.
- Knowledge of Organic Chemistry, thin films, and/or NMR spectroscopy is an advantage.
