We are looking for a Pre/Postdoctoral researcher at Universidad CEU San Pablo.
Project: Better Magnesium Batteries for a more Sustainable Society (BeMaB)
The BeMaB project is an ambitious initiative to develop high-performance rechargeable magnesium batteries (RMB). The main focus is designing new materials as cathodes for magnesium-ion batteries (MIB), providing high voltage, high specific capacity, and good cycling stability with selected suitable electrolytes.
The project is granted by MICINN (Program Transición Ecológica y Transición Digital). The project partners are Universidad CEU San Pablo (Madrid), Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Madrid), and University of Bialystok.
We are looking for one Pre/Postdoctoral researcher with a M.Sc./Ph.D. in Chemistry, Materials Science or Materials Engineering. The selected candidate will be integrated into the ESYMAT group at Universidad CEU San Pablo (ESYMAT Group) and will also be involved in various tasks among all partners.
The researcher will undertake research activities for 18 months that will include:
1. Synthesis: Ceramic, precipitation, sol-gel, mechano-chemical, hydrothermal.
2. Structural characterization: X-ray diffraction (including synchrotron diffraction), neutron diffraction, and electron diffraction.
3. Morphological and spectroscopic characterization (SEM, BET, XPS).
4. Electrical and electrochemical characterization of cathode materials: discharge-charge cycling, C-rate, CVs, PEIS impedance spectroscopy.
The contract will be performed with Fundación Universitaria San Pablo CEU according to the standard salary for pre/postdoctoral researchers. Starting date as soon as possible.
Please send your CV including at least the names of two references and your degree qualification report. Deadline: April 11, 2025.
