Research Postdoctoral Fellow (Dept Of Materials Science And Engineering)

Interested applicants are invited to apply directly at the NUS Career Portal Your application will be processed only if you apply via NUS Career Portal We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified. Job Description The successful candidate will conduct simulation and experimental research on sodium or other metal-ion rechargeable batteries. The candidate will work closely with the Principal Investigator (PI) on molecular dynamics (MD) or density functional theory (DFT) computations for materials simulation related to battery systems. The candidate may also participate in the design and development of battery electrodes and electrolytes, and contribute to advancing the understanding and performance of next-generation rechargeable batteries. Qualifications • A PhD degree in Materials Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or a related field. Candidate who is in the final stages of PhD studies (i.e. submitted thesis; pending oral defence) may also be considered. • Experience or strong interest in rechargeable battery research, particularly sodium or other metal-ion batteries. • Familiarity with computational materials science methods such as molecular dynamics (MD) or density functional theory (DFT). • Experience with materials simulation tools or software is preferred. • Knowledge of battery materials, including electrodes and electrolytes, is an advantage. • Ability to conduct independent research as well as collaborate effectively with the research team. • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and scientific writing skills.
