Postdoctoral Associate Position in Professor Vibha Kalra's Research Group at Cornell University Prof. Vibha Kalra's research group at Cornell University (Ithaca, NY, USA) is seeking applicants for two postdoctoral associate positions on "Next Generation Batteries". The project(s) will involve material development for next generation batteries, advanced electrochemical, spectroscopic, and microscopic characterizations (including in-situ/in-operando) and battery recycling. An ideal candidate will have expertise in one or more of the following areas: solid electrolytes, in-situ/in-operando characterizations, metal anodes, high voltage cathodes, and battery recycling. The postdoctoral scholar will be expected to actively participate in a collaborative environment, design independent, hypothesis-driven research projects, successfully carry out the proposed research, and disseminate their findings via peer-reviewed papers and conference presentations. Additional Information about Kalra lab and Cornell University: We are committed to supporting a diverse and inclusive environment for all lab members. We are a collaborative lab and routinely work with faculty and scientists in universities, national labs, and industry. Our lab is fully equipped with state-of-the-art equipment on material fabrication and development, electrochemical characterization, battery assembly and testing (coin and pouch cell-level), and in-situ/in-operando vibrational spectroscopic characterizations. Additionally, Cornell University is home to world class characterization facilities and a synchrotron on campus for advanced post-mortem and in-operando characterizations ** Please note Kalra lab is currently in the process of moving from Drexel University to Cornell University (effective January 2024). You can learn more about our group's research here and Qualifications: Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics or related field. Strong background in batteries. Experience with different characterization techniques. In-operando characterization experience is a plus Proven record of publications in peer-reviewed journals.
