Description de l'offre
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
Role of the candidate :
- Propose, design and conduct the experiments with respect to the aims of the project and state-of-the-art
- 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
Profil du candidat
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.
- Proven hands-on experience with battery characterization techniques (at least some of the following): X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, ionic conductivity measurements, NMR.
- Excellent laboratory skills, with a strong commitment to laboratory safety regulations.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English; knowledge of French would be an asset.
- Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team, with appropriate support from the project team.
- A rigorous approach to research, along with creativity and scientific curiosity, is highly valued.
Guarantees and benefits :
Stable 2-year post-doc position
A working contract at CEA offers good work-life balance, professional training to strengthen your skills or acquire new ones, excellent medical insurance, subsidies for the use of public transport (85%) and the
staff canteen, holidays and a variety of cultural and sports activities. Home working is authorized under certain conditions. Grenoble is located in French Alps providing an easy access to activities in the mountains.
