The Electrochemical Interface and Ionics (EI²) Lab at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, is seeking for Postdoctoral Researchers, PhD Students, and Research Assistants for multiple positions.

• • NTU is ranked #12 globally in the QS World University Rankings 2026.

  • The School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) is ranked #1 globally by U.S. News and #4 worldwide by QS.

You will be part of a world-class ecosystem that integrates electrochemistry, materials science, and engineering, driving innovations to tackle urgent global challenges in energy, sustainability, and resilient infrastructure.

What we offer:

• • We offer hands-on training in both fundamental science and device-level applications, with opportunity to develop strong collaborations within NTU EEE.

  • We work in a collaborative, open, and supportive environment. 

  • We are well connected with leading researchers, and actively support our group members in pursuing international research opportunities.

  • We are committed to helping our team members grow and explore their career paths.

For PhD Students:

• • Strong motivation to learn and innovate in interdisciplinary energy research.

  • Prior experience in any of the following is a plus: batteries, electrochemical devices, organic synthesis, materials chemistry, simulation, or machine learning.

  • Willingness to grow as both a scientist and engineer, with training across chemistry, materials, and EEE systems.

PhD students are fully funded with scholarships. Please email your CV and brief statement of research interest.

For Postdoctoral Scholars:

• • Background in electrochemistry, chemistry, materials science, electrical engineering or related fields

  • A strong track record in scientific research and publications in high-impact journals.

  • Ideal candidates will have experience in one or more of the following areas (preferred but not strictly required):

    Solid-state batteries; electrolyte and interphase design; organic synthesis; flow batteries; battery lifetime prediction and aging diagnostics; data-driven or AI-assisted materials design.

Candidates who are excited about working at the intersection of energy, electrochemistry, and electrical/electronic engineering are especially encouraged to apply, including but not limited to: automated and high-throughput experimental platforms; electrochemically tunable materials for electronic devices; microbatteries; and the development of integrated systems for wearable energy applications.

Compensation and benefits package will be internationally competitive. Interested candidate are encouraged to email CV, contact information of 2-3 referees, and brief research proposal.

For Visiting Students and Scholars:

Please email to discuss directly.
