Job Summary/Unit Information: The market for batteries is ever-growing. For lithium-ion batteries, it has surpassed $30 billion and is expected to double or perhaps triple by 2025. It also demands constant improvement in battery efficiency and storage capabilities. Answering this charge is a priority for UWM researchers, whose work in energy storage is helping power a strong industry cluster in Wisconsin and beyond. UWM’s expertise got a boost in 2015 when Deyang Qu became the Johnson Controls Endowed Professor in Energy Storage Research. The endowment from Johnson Controls, a giant in the battery industry, funded a unique dry lab at UWM, the largest such facility at any North American university. Housed in the College of Engineering & Applied Science, the lab is a miniature factory, providing limited manufacturing of promising new batteries. The unit seeks to fill a 12-month, fixed terminal academic staff Assistant Research Professor position to work on this research. The successful candidate will support a broad portfolio of externally funded research in electrochemical energy storage. The position will provide scientific and technical leadership for federally and industry-sponsored research projects (i.e. US Department of Energy Battery 500 consortium, industry contracts, UWM DIG and UWRF Catalyst), coordinate research activities in the Principal Investigator's (PI) laboratory, manage collaborative research with external partners, and provide continuous mentoring to graduate students and junior researchers. The research program encompasses Li-ion batteries, beyond-Li-ion battery technologies, including Li-S and solid-state batteries, battery recycling, and related electrochemical energy-storage technologies. The successful candidate will be expected to contribute to the development and execution of current and future externally sponsored research programs and to help ensure the timely completion of research milestones, technical reports, publications, patents, and other project deliverables. Required Qualifications: Education: A Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering or a closely related engineering or scientific discipline. Research Experience: At least five years of postdoctoral and/or research associate experience following completion of the Ph.D., with substantial research experience in electrochemical engineering, electrochemistry, and electrochemical energy-storage technologies.
