Postdoc/Research Fellow in Electrochemistry and Electrode Materials for Next-Generation Batteries at NTU (EI2 Lab)
Job Description
The EI2 Lab at NTU’s School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering is hiring a Postdoctoral or Research Fellow to drive independent research on next-generation electrochemical energy systems. The lab studies ion conductors and their interfaces, aiming at high-energy lithium and sodium batteries, all-solid-state batteries and electrochemical devices.
At a glance
- Post: Postdoc/Research Fellow (req. R00025747)
- Lab: EI2 Lab, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
- Posted: 11 September 2026
- Apply: open until filled (re-checked 14 October 2026)
What the post involves
- Drive independent research on electrochemistry and electrode materials for next-generation batteries
- Study ion and electron transport and the chemo-electro-mechanical behaviour of material interfaces
- Collaborate across materials science, electrochemistry and mechanics
- Mentor graduate and undergraduate students
Why this post matters
Solid-state and sodium batteries could make storage safer and cheaper than today’s lithium-ion cells, and interfaces are where most of their problems lie. The lab’s focus on those interfaces puts this post at the core of next-generation battery research. The post expects an independent research agenda, which makes it a good step towards a faculty or senior research career.
What NTU is looking for
- A Ph.D. in materials science, chemistry, electrochemistry, chemical engineering or a related field
- Hands-on battery or electrochemistry research
- A strong publication record
Nice to have
- Solid-state battery or interface characterisation experience
