Position Description:
The Sargent group is seeking outstanding candidates to work on a project at the University of Toronto to develop next-generation oxygen-evolution reaction (OER) catalysts. This multi-year project is supported by the National Research Council and aims to understand limitations of commercial OER materials and develop catalysts that combine low-cost, high efficiency and stability.
Successful candidates will have strong research expertise in one or more of the following:
- Design, fabrication, and characterization of electrochemical systems
- Synthesis and characterization of new (acidic) OER catalysts
- Experience in setting up and characterization of PEMWE setups
Having experience in the following will be considered an asset:
- High-throughput experimentation in electrochemical systems
- Computational screening of materials through ab initio and data-driven methods
- Machine learning for materials discovery
