The Battery Analytical Investigation (Bai) Group in the Department of Energy, Environmental & Chemical Engineering, at Washington University in St. Louis is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral research associate to investigate the dendrite penetration and suppression mechanisms of high-areal-capacity lithium metal anodes. Applicants are expected to have a PhD degree in Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering, with direct experience and record of journal publications on the synthesis and characterization of li-ion conducting solid electrolytes.

The Bai lab is located on the Danforth campus of Washington University, with state-of-art brand-new equipment and facilities for battery research. The principal investigator, Dr. Peng Bai, was the recipient of the Oronzio and Niccolò De Nora Foundation Young Author Prize of 2014 from the International Society of Electrochemistry, and was nominated a finalist of the Science Award Electrochemistry of 2017 by Volkswagen and BASF. Dr. Bai is strongly committed to the mentoring and training of the postdoc researchers toward their successful career in the chosen directions.

Interested applicants please send the following materials to pbai@wustl.edu: (i) CV with a publication list; (ii) Research summary highlighting contributions of the PhD work; (iii) List of contact information of 2-3 reference letters.
