Marshall University
Overview
Job Opportunity: Research Scientist - Rare Metals Recycling from Electrochemical Batteries. We are seeking a highly motivated and innovative Research Scientist with a Ph.D. in Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics, or a closely related field to conduct cutting-edge research and develop advanced technologies for the recycling of rare metals from electrochemical batteries. This role is ideal for a candidate with a strong background in electrochemistry, energy storage systems, and materials synthesis who is passionate about sustainability and circular economy solutions in energy storage. Key Responsibilities
Conduct advanced research in rare metals recovery and recycling from electrochemical batteries, focusing on lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and next-generation battery systems. Develop and optimize processes for rare metal extraction and recycling, leveraging expertise in electrochemical techniques, surface analysis, and material characterization. Synthesize and characterize electro-active materials such as cathodes, ionic liquids, and solid-state electrolytes. Design, assemble, and test battery cells, emphasizing integrating recycled materials. Utilize and advance microscopy/spectroscopy methods (e.g., FTIR, Raman, UV, SEM, XPS) and electrochemical analytical techniques (e.g., impedance spectroscopy). Contribute to computational research in battery materials and recycling technologies. Lead and mentor a multidisciplinary team, including graduate students and research engineers. Develop innovative research proposals, secure funding, and produce high-impact publications in peer-reviewed journals. Represent the research team through presentations at national and international conferences.
