Sheffield, Sheffield, United Kingdom University of Sheffield Full time

We have an exciting opportunity in the Chemical & Biological Engineering Department for a Research Associate in Novel Dry Battery Electrode Deposition.

This is an ideal position for someone looking to utilise their skills within an expert group of researchers across different research institutions; and to make an impact in the area of design and development of new ways to process dry powdered lithium ion battery electrodes that are formed without solvent into a battery electrode.


This Faraday Institution funded research project (Nextrode) is well established, both in Sheffield and across our partner institutions, and we have received additional funding for a second phase of the project for the next two years.


Chemical and Biological Engineering (CBE) is ranked amongst the top 5 Chemical Engineering Departments in the UK and is a thriving department within the University's Faculty of Engineering.

CBE comprises 38 academic staff, 58 research staff and technicians, 16 support staff and a student population of over 650 undergraduates, and 250 postgraduates (taught and research).
