About the Role
We now have an opportunity for a postdoctoral researcher to develop and deploy coupled X-ray computed laminography and X-ray diffraction methods for non-destructive 3D analysis of solid-state battery pouch cells. The role is embedded within the Faraday Institution SOLBAT project and is focused on revealing degradation pathways in realistic cell architectures.
The post is primarily a methods-development role with strong application delivery into solid-state battery research. You will establish robust acquisition and reconstruction workflows, deliver quantitative 3D analysis, and help translate these methods into high-value experimental studies.
About You
You will hold an appropriate first degree in Physics, Engineering, Materials Science or a closely related discipline, as well as an appropriate multidisciplinary PhD. Must-have background:
· Strong experience in X-ray imaging, tomography or closely related 3D X-ray methods.
· Experience with reconstruction, scientific coding and image/data-processing workflows.
· Ability to deliver an independent research project and communicate results clearly.
· A collaborative approach suited to multidisciplinary and consortium-based work.
聘期：This position is until 31 March 2027 with the possibility of a 1-year extension.
薪資待遇：£41,414 to £45,510 per annum
受理期間：2026年5月4日止 (We reserve the right to close this vacancy early before the closing date if enough applications are received.)
