The Department of Chemistry is currently recruiting to six funded PhD Studentships for the Centre of Experimental Fuel TechnologiesLink opens in a new window. Successful candidates will join the Warwick Electrochemistry and Interfaces Group led by Profs Patrick Unwin FRS and Julie Macpherson or the research group of Prof Richard Walton.

The Centre for Experimental Fuel Technologies (CEFT), aims to develop innovative fuel cell and battery technologies, underpinned by fundamental understanding. The Centre is an exciting venture bringing together leading research groups at the University of Warwick. Opportunities are also available within Warwick Manufacturing Group, under the supervision of Prof Louis PiperLink opens in a new window and Dr Mel LoveridgeLink opens in a new window, and in the School of Engineering with Prof Shanwen TaoLink opens in a new window. With world-leading expertise and facilities in electrochemistry, materials chemistry, spectroscopy, microscopy, modelling and battery and fuel cell construction and testing, we aim to develop next generation electrochemical energy technologies through holistic views of ammonia fuel cells and metal and metal ion (Li, Na, Ca etc.) batteries, from the nanoscale to device level.

In addition to the range of exciting projects offered, the cohort of CEFT PhD students will benefit from bespoke training courses and opportunities for collaboration across the departments, with CEFT academics and their collaborators (within Warwick, nationally and internationally).
