Purpose: Under general supervision, the postdoctoral research associate will be conducting research specifically in battery manufacturing R&D to lower cost, raise energy density, increase production yield, and address manufacturing bottlenecks. This incumbent will work in close collaboration with other researchers involved with ORNLs applied energy storage program. This position resides in the Department of Energy (DOE) Battery Manufacturing Facility and the Manufacturing Systems Research Group at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

Enthusiastic and highly motivated postdoctoral scientists are sought to work on the following topics at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.  

1. Nanostructured membranes for water purification.

2. Solar cells based on graphene-semiconductor heterojunction

3. Wear and contact fatigue

4. 3D printing.

The candidates should have rich experiences in relevant research areas, good publication records and excellent writing skills.
