Project Officer or Research Fellow in Redox-Active MOF Cathodes for Energy Storage at NTU Singapore
Job Description
NTU’s School of Materials Science and Engineering is hiring a project officer or research fellow to design and synthesise metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with tailored redox activity, and ideally electrical conductivity, for energy storage. The work covers synthetic routes, electrode fabrication, electrochemical and electrocatalytic testing across battery types (not only Li-ion or aqueous zinc), and structure-property studies of charge-storage mechanisms. Bachelor’s holders may be hired at project officer level and PhDs as research fellows.
