Postdoctoral Researchers in the field of battery design and manufacturing

University of Twente

We are seeking two exceptional and forward-thinking Postdoctoral Researchers in the field of battery design and manufacturing. One position (related to the faculty Engineering Technology) deals with the modelling and implementation of advanced battery manufacturing technologies on both pilot line and industrial scale. The other position (related to the faculty Science and Technology) has a focus on the cell design and advanced testing of future battery generations. As key members of our interdisciplinary team in the Battery Centre Twente, you will collaborate closely with experts from various fields to revolutionize battery technology and drive the transition towards a sustainable energy future. Both positions will be involved in building up dedicated battery manufacturing and testing infrastructure at the University of Twente.

Key responsibilities:

Postdoc 1: Battery Cell Manufacturing

Design, analyse and improve battery cell manufacturing processes

Engineering and implementation of battery cell manufacturing pilot line equipment

Develop quality control methods and protocols

Supporting the development and implementation of digital twins of battery manufacturing processes

Investigate novel manufacturing techniques and technologies

Postdoc 2: Battery Cell Development and testing

Design and optimize novel battery architectures and material systems

Develop advanced battery testing protocols and equipment for performance characterization

Investigate and analyze electrochemical behavior, including cycle life, capacity, and impedance

Collaborate with materials scientists and engineers to develop next- generation battery materials

Contribute to the development of battery management systems for enhanced performance and safety

You will be embedded in in the Battery Centre Twente and work closely together with Prof. Sebastian Thiede (Manufacturing Systems) and Prof. Mark Huijben (Nanomaterials for Energy Conversion and Storage) but also interacting with many other colleagues.
