Opportunities in the Lab
Revolutionize Energy. Change the World. Join Us.
We’re looking for bold minds to help us realize revolutionary technologies that strengthen our domestic energy supply, electrify heavy industry, and meet the 2,000 GW of unmatched power supply and demand in the US (double the size of the current US grid).
What We’re Looking For:
Post-doctoral candidates that thrive on solving challenging problems in teams. Our ideal candidate has:
- A Ph.D. (completed or near completion) in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or Chemistry with expertise in solid-state electrochemistry, organic electrochemistry, electrolysis, or mechanical or transport modeling of electrochemical systems.
- Hands-on experience designing, building, and testing batteries and fuel cells.
- An insatiable curiosity and drive to create technologies that matter.
What You’ll Do:
You’ll join forces with three world-class faculty and a multidisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to tackle high-risk, high-reward challenges funded by ARPA-E.
Over the next 2–3 years, you’ll:
- Design and test cutting-edge electrochemical systems.
- Model the physics of next-generation energy devices.
- Collaborate across disciplines to bring transformative concepts to life.
Why This Matters:
ARPA-E projects are the DARPA of energy. They’re bold. They’re ambitious. And they’re designed to fail fast or change the world. By joining this team, you’ll be at the forefront of energy innovation and contribute to breakthroughs that could redefine the future.
This is your chance to make an impact. To lead. To work with a team and make something great.
Apply now and redefine what’s possible.
Interested candidates should sent an email to jpikul@wisc.edu with your CV and a short description of why you are a good fit for this project.
