Our VPDoR Diversity Journey:
POSITION SUMMARY:
The Cui Lab is seeking a Research Associate to join the project exploring advanced lithium batteries. The employee will work independently and participate in various research projects related to lithium metal batteries. More specifically, the research will mainly focus on fundamental and mechanistic understanding of electrically isolated lithium formed during the cycling of lithium metal batteries. We would like to investigate deeper into one of the main challenges in lithium metal batteries and correlate the result to understand the major failure mechanism. The research involves conducting and analyzing experiments as long as other research experience. If you are interested in developing next generation lithium batteries with sufficient background in electrochemistry, batteries, or related fields, then help us advance battery technologies.
