Postdoctoral Research Associate in Second-Life Battery Grid Storage

We are seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate in Second-Life Battery Grid Storage. The post is funded by the Oxford Martin Programme on Circular Battery Economies. It is fixed term for 30 months (or up to December 2027). You will undertake original research on the technical integration and economic evaluation of second life batteries for power grid energy storage, focusing on clean electricity access in the Global South. The research will bring together power grid and battery modelling, optimisation, economic evaluation and material flow analysis. The project will also involve close collaboration with researchers from other disciplines within the Oxford Martin Circular Battery Economies Programme, who are working on second-life battery modelling, re-certification, and redeployment, as well as social acceptability and policy design. Apply by 12pm January 9th, 2025.
