About this position
Applications are invited for a Post-doctoral Research Associate position to work in the Department of Anthropology at Durham University. The successful candidate will join a five-year EPSRC Programme Grant project called "Electrical Composites" (EleComp) that involves eleven academics from Imperial College London, University of Bristol and Durham University. The successful applicant will work within a multidisciplinary team of electrochemists, material scientists, composite engineers, fellow anthropologists and sustainability experts on structural power composites (SPCs). These transformative materials can do two things at once: store electrical energy whilst carrying mechanical loads. SPCs have been heralded by the World Economic Forum (WEF) as one of the , which recognised their potential to fundamentally reshape how infrastructure, aerospace, automotive, and electronic products are designed and manufactured. By simultaneously delivering lightweighting and efficient energy storage, these materials will provide huge weight and volume savings. They will offer tremendous design freedoms, delivering products that just can't be achieved with conventional batteries.
