Postdoctoral Research Assistant Position at Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford

2011-Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the field of Mathematical Modelling of Electrochemistry and Mechanics of Batteries and Solar Cells at University of Oxford in UK
Study Subject:Mathematical Modelling of Electrochemistry and Mechanics of Batteries and Solar Cells
Employer: EPSRC
Level:Postdoctoral
Scholarship Description:We invite applications for an EPSRC funded postdoctoral research position to work on the project “Mathematical analysis of nanostructured electrochemical systems for lithium batteries and solar cells” with Professors Jon Chapman and Alain Goriely in OCIAM. This is a 30 month fixed term position and is available from 1 August 2011 or soon thereafter.You will work on deriving partial differential equation models for the electrochemical and mechanical behaviour in a lithium battery and in dye sensitised solar cells and analysing these models both numerically and analytically. You will work closely with faculty at Oxford University where activity will concentrate on the mechanical properties of materials used in lithium batteries. This project is part of a larger initiative in the Mathematics Department related to energy.
The successful candidate will be expected to have a PhD awarded, or a Masters degree and PhD submitted, at the time of taking up the post in mathematics or a related discipline and a good record of research in mathematical modelling. This interdisciplinary research project requires you to be able to work as part of a team and have strong written, verbal, and presentational skills.
Applicants should read the job description document before writing their application. You will be required to upload a supporting statement setting out how you meet the selection criteria, a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, details of teaching experience, a statement of research interests, and the names and contact details of two referees as part of your online application.
