Assistant/Associate Professor the Physics of Energy Materials, University of Cambridge, UK

We are seeking an exceptional early career scientist to develop an ambitious experimental programme in the Physics of Energy Materials. Our Energy Materials program seeks to develop and support physics which can transform the way the world generates, stores and uses energy. We recognise that such breakthroughs must be underpinned by foundational physics that explores new physical mechanisms, new materials and new experimental techniques that can unlock the potential of these materials.

Current work at the Cavendish Laboratory includes research into photovoltaics, LEDs, batteries, photocatalysis, thermoelectric, plasmonics, superconductivity and spintronics. We seek exceptional candidates, whose research falls within the area of Energy Materials, broadly interpreted, to complement and further the work of the Cavendish. Illustrative examples of possible areas of interest for this position may include: the advanced characterisation of energy materials (perhaps leveraging large facilities); the study of novel physical concepts in energy conversion processes such as the control and application of light-matter coupling for photocatalysis and photovoltaics; or new approaches, based on novel physics or new materials, to reduce energy consumption in data processing and storage.
