Missions
We are looking for a talented individual to join our research team at the Laboratoire de
Réactivité et de Chimie des Solides, UMR7314, joint research unit between CNRS and Université de Picardie Jules Verne, in Amiens, France.
The successful candidate will join Prof. Alejandro A. Franco's research team
to work as a postdoctoral researcher in the field of battery manufacturing.
Activities
The postdoctoral researcher will be in charge of preparing and characterizing battery
electrodes and cells by using the pilot line of the French Network on Electrochemical Energy
Storage (RS2E). The postdoctoral researcher will carry out innovative research allowing to
gain deep insights in the relationships between manufacturing parameters and battery cell
performance. The collected data and the unraveled insights will be used to calibrate and
validate pioneering physical and machine learning models being developed in Prof. Franco's
team (see for instance: https://www.erc-artistic.eu/).
The postdoctoral researcher will work within the context of the recently started DIGICELL European Project.
If you want to join a scientific environment of excellence with great facilities and doing pioneering and rigorous battery research, Amiens is a place to be.
Skills
Interested candidates should have a recent PhD diploma, with solid experience in
electrochemistry, materials and batteries. Prior experience in process engineering or in using
pilot lines will be highly appreciated. Interested individuals should be open-minded, dynamic,
should have strong team-spirit and have excellent scientific communication skills.
Work Context
At the Energy Hub, the LRCS is home to over 120 people of 25 different nationalities, working mainly on electrochemical energy storage (batteries) and energy conversion technologies. The RS2E, being a leader in this field, enjoys strong scientific recognition.
The position is located in a sector under the protection of scientific and technical potential (PPST), and therefore requires, in accordance with the regulations, that your arrival is authorized by the competent authority of the MESR.
