The Nanocomposite Materials and Membrane Manufacturing group in the Applied Materials Division (AMD) has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher to develop materials, membranes, and fabrication processes for energy storage applications. The researcher is expected to use solution-based synthesis approaches (e.g., electrospinning, slot-die coating, and 3D printing) to fabricate battery electrodes and solid electrolytes. We are seeking candidates who will be able to design experiments and develop methodologies to design material compositions, ink rheological properties, and coating and drying process conditions to fabricate membrane components with desired physics and ionic transport properties.

As part of the Materials Engineering Research Facilities (MERF), the Nanocomposite Materials and Membrane Manufacturing group perform science-based membrane synthesis and scaleup development by using roll-to-roll manufacturing and machine learning enabled in-line characterization and qua...
