The Scanlon Materials Theory Group (SMTG) is led by Professor David O. Scanlon at the School of Chemistry in the Univeristy of Birmingham. We wish to recruit two Research Fellows in Computational Materials Chemistry for Novel Li-ion Cathode Materials. The positions are both until the end of the project funding on 30 September 2025. The overall goal is the development of new knowledge of cation and anion redox processes and generation of commercially-scalable routes to next-generation cathodes.  

The collaboration, FutureCAT, is funded by the Faraday Institution; its collaborative partners include the universities of Lancaster, Sheffield, Imperial and Cambridge, Warwick Manufacturing Group, Diamond Light Source, and the ISIS Neutron and Muon Source. The posts at Birmingham will both work on computational screening with project colleagues refining these in experimentation at the University of Sheffield. 

Please apply online using the link in the advert below. Any informal enquries, please contact Professor Scanlon ([email protected]).
