RESEARCHER PROFILE: Postdoc / R2: PhD holders 
RESEARCH FIELD(S)1: Chemistry
MAIN SUB RESEARCH FIELD OR DISCIPLINES1: Polymer chemistry

JOB /OFFER DESCRIPTION 

The research on electrochemical storage of energy is today in a stage of fast and profound evolution; because of both the strong development of portable electronics requesting power energy and in the in inevitable development of greener transport modes (hybrid and full electric vehicles, better energy management in air and railroad transport). All these markets require higher performances systems of storage in terms of energy density (weight and volume), of power, life cycle, safety and cost. A new generation of batteries called “all solid-state batteries” is the best candidate to answer the needs of these diversified applications. It is precisely in this context that the subject of the Postdoc position is proposed, that consists of design, prepare and characterize polymer electrolytes with a high level of performance for all solid-state batteries.

The work program of Postdoct will be devoted to the development of high potential polymer electrolytes. The first part of the project will consist in the preparation of ion-conducting polymer electrolytes with controlled architectures and compositions. In the second part, a deep physico-chemical characterization of polymer electrolyte materials will be carried out to establish the structure-property relationship.

This work is part of the “ELIAS” project funded by Bpifrance (France 2030). This project, bringing together 2 industrial partners (SAFT and Ingecal) and 3 academic research laboratories (Liten-CEA, ICMMO-UP Saclay, ICR-AMU Marseille), aims to produce at the end of the project an all-solid-state battery prototype with energy density > 400 Wh/kg (for example, energy density of lithium-ion battery is 80 Wh/kg).

TYPE OF CONTRACT: TEMPORARY / JOB STATUS: FULL TIME/ HOURS PER WEEK: 35
APPLICATION DEADLINE: 01/04/2025
ENVISAGED STARTING DATE: 01/04/2025
ENVISAGED DURATION: 15 months

WORK LOCATION(S): Institut de Chimie Radicalaire – ICR Lab, Campus Scientifique Saint Jérôme, 52 avenue Escadrille Normandie Niemen, Service 542, 13013 Marseille, France

WHAT WE OFFER: 
Around 34 k€/year (gross salary) depending on experience
