Research Fellow in Mathematical Modelling of Lithium-Ion Battery Manufacture
Applied Mathematics & Theoretical Physics
Salary: £30,942 to £38,017 Per annum
Full-time, Fixed term (for 43 months)
Location: Highfield Campus
Ref: 1218719PJ
Applications are invited for a Faraday Institution funded post to work with Dr. G. Richardson in the Applied Mathematics Group in Mathematical Sciences. The project is to develop mathematical models of lithium-ion battery manufacture as part of NEXTRODE, a large multi-institutional grant, which is held in collaboration with a wider group of scientists and engineers who are investigating the process from an experimental perspective.
The lithium-ion battery industry is a multi-billion-dollar industry that is expanding rapidly in order to meet the needs of the growing electric vehicle market. Nevertheless, the battery manufacturing process is still far from being fully understood and most batteries manufactured today are far from optimal, both in terms of performance and lifetime. The overall goal of NEXTRODE is to build upon recent developments in enhanced lab scale manufacturing that have shown significant improvements in cell performance and lifetime and take these to a commercial scale.
The post holder will join the Richardson research group and will focus on developing continuum models for the various processes that occur in battery manufacture. The work will be conducted in close collaboration with experimental colleagues and their data used to validate the models. The validated models will be used to explore ways in which the manufacturing processes can be optimised, both in terms of improved battery performance/lifetime and reduced manufacturing cost.
You should have a good track record of research in applied mathematical modelling with expertise in at least one of the areas: numerical methods, continuum mechanics (fluid and/or solid mechanics) and partial differential equations. You should either have a PhD in applied mathematics or a related area. You should have experience of solving problems, organising research, pursuing new research areas and be able to demonstrate a high-quality research track-record. This interdisciplinary research program requires you to be able to work in a team and have strong written, verbal and presentational skills.
Salary will be within the range £30,942 - £38,017 per annum, depending on qualifications and experience. This post is available from February 1st, 2020, or as soon as possible thereafter, and will be offered on a full-time fixed-term contract for a period of 43 months.
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr G. Richardson, Tel: 023 80 59 36 59 or email: G.Richardson@soton.ac.uk.
