The School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering (MAE) invites applications for the position of Research Fellow.
The Research Fellow will conduct both experimental and numerical research to develop more efficient lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with enhanced thermoresponse capability
Key Responsibilities:
Development of new LIB fabrication, electrochemical characterization and thermal characterization facilities
Development of new composite phase change materials (PCM) with enhanced thermoregulation capabilities for LIB and associated fabrication facilities
Carry out LIB and composite PCM fabrication and perform electrochemical and thermal characterization of new libs
Develop numerical models and/or analytical formulations to predict electro-thermo process in conventional and new libs
Work closely with other graduate students and researchers on experimental and numerical investigations
Assisting the preparation of the necessary research reports and technical papers
Work closely with researchers, graduate and undergraduate students performing research such as URECA or final year projects
Assist the Principal Investigator (PI) and his co-investigators in the supervision of graduate and undergraduate students in the research team, and perform all related assignments and studies as directed by the PI from time to time
Job Requirements:
PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering, Material Science and Engineering, or related field
Experience and expertise in composite phase change materials, lithium-ion battery fabrication and characterization, design and experimentation of lithium-ion battery thermal management.
Experience in carrying out lithium-ion battery (LIB) fabrication and LIB electrochemical and thermal characterization
Experience in developing LIB fabrication and electrochemical characterization facilities
Experience in heat transfer experiments and measurements related to composite phase change materials
