Research Assistant/Associate in Sustainable Carbon-Based Electrodes for Flow Batteries

id="offer-description" class="ecl-u-type-heading-2 ecl-u-mt-none ecl-u-mb-l">Offer Description The Role. We are seeking an enthusiastic Research Assistant/Associate to join an exciting Innovate UK-funded feasibility project focused on developing sustainable electrode materials for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). The collaboration between Newcastle University and industry partners explores the potential of utilising waste-derived carbon materials into investigate the application of waste-derived carbon materials in high-performance electrodes for energy storage applications. You will play a key role in accelerating the development and commercialisation of low-cost VRFB electrodes, supporting the growth of the UK's vanadium flow cell battery electrode supply chain and enhancing our global competitiveness in the energy storage market. This project will be conducted within the School of Engineering at Newcastle University. This post is full-time and fixed term for up to12 months (but no later than 31/10/2027). You are expected to take up the post from as soon as possible. To apply please submit your up-to-date CV and a cover letter (maximum of two A4 pages).
