Topic: solid-state batteries

Develop oxide-based lithium and sodium solid-state batteries, focusing on ionic conduction, large-area implementation, lifetime and input/output performance. Experimental work combines synthesis, electrochemical measurement, spectroscopy and structural characterization. The position is at NIMS’s Namiki site in Tsukuba, with a start from November 2026 or later. The initial one-year term may be renewed subject to review for up to five years. The advertised monthly salary starts at JPY 448,816 under institutional rules. Applicants upload a ZIP containing the specified materials to the employer’s

Study lithium-ion transport in oxide solid electrolytes and all-solid-state batteries, connecting atomic and nanoscale diffusion with crystal structure, local structure, ion correlations and ionic conductivity. Methods include solid-state NMR, pulsed-field-gradient and two-dimensional exchange NMR, impedance spectroscopy and tracer diffusion. Research emphasizes garnet-type oxides and correlated or cooperative ion motion. One position in the Solid State Battery Ionics Group at NIMS; start 1 October 2026 or later. Initial term one year, with annual review and a maximum of five years. Published
