Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with expertise in vanadium and rare-earth element (REE) recovery, thermodynamic modeling, and materials characterization to join a cutting-edge research team. The project focuses on developing sustainable and optimized processes for vanadium extraction and purification, with the goal of enabling large-scale redox flow battery deployment for energy storage.

Scope of Work

The successful candidate will work on:

  • Designing and optimizing extraction processes for vanadium from primary and secondary sources (e.g., slags and industrial wastes).
  • Developing purification pathways to produce battery-grade vanadium for energy storage applications.
  • Applying thermodynamic modeling tools (CALPHAD, FactSage) to simulate vanadium phase behavior and guide proc...
