Location: HKSTP-HKU iAXON (科技園公司西區中心)
Position: Postdoctoral fellow/ Research Scientist
Your role: Work with our R&D team to conduct electrochemical and material study of our novel thermal-charging cell. This will include running the relevant knowledge exchange among Hong Kong, Chian and Taiwan with our industrial collaborators. Other opportunities include integration of our DTCCs to electrical appliances and development of testing protocols. Learn about product design, market strategy, how startups work in general, etc.
Timing: Commence on or after Aug. 1, 2020. Appointment will initially be made on contract basis for one year, renewable subject to good performance and mutual agreement.
Salary: A highly competitive salary commensurate with qualifications and experience will be offered, in addition to annual leave and medical benefits.
Education: Applicants should (i) have a Ph.D. degree in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (“STEM”)-related discipline; (ii) be highly motivated and have the ability to work independently.
Experience: Applicants should have a strong interest and experience with material testing is a big plus. All applicants must have strong academic performance in their engineering/ sciences coursework. We also highly value strong creative thinkers.

We are a spin-off company from the University of Hong Kong supported by Technology Start-up Support Scheme for Universities (TSSSU). We focus on our patented technology of thermally chargeable battery, named direct thermal-charging cell (DTCC), for efficiently converting low-grade heat to electricity. DTCCs has a very high energy conversion efficiency with uniqueness and advantages for practical application including a wide operation window, isothermal and continuous charging/discharging process, low-cost and simple system and the ability to form stacks of cells. We are searching for a postdoctoral fellow.
