About this position

JOB DESCRIPTION:

CIC energiGUNE is recruiting a predoctoral researcher to develop, adapt and validate recycling strategies for next-generation lithium-ion battery waste containing silicon–graphite anode materials, with a focus on both manufacturing scraps and end-of-life black mass (i.e end of life batteries).

Main job functions:

  • Develop and test lab-scale recycling routes using different physico-chemical separation processes for lithium-ion battery materials containing silicon–graphite anodes, including production scraps and black mass.
  • Carry out basic process optimization steps such as material pretreatment, delamination, leaching, purification and recovery of valuable battery materials.
  • Characterize recovered materials using common physicochemical and electrochemical techniques, in collaboration with specialized researchers when needed.
  • Analyze experimental results, prepare reports and contribute to scientific publications, project meetings and dissemination activities.

Area : Electrochemical Enery Storage and Conversion (EESC)

Group: Inorganic Materials for Batteries

PhD in Genetic dissection of metastasis in a Drosophila colorectal cancer model

universitat de lleida · CMB

  • Lleida, Spain
  • Biological sciences

The project The project aims to use several colorectal cancer models developed in the lab to advance in the understanding of the cellular processes driving metastasis. About the group Our group, Drosophila models of disease and (epi)genetic analysis , located at the Biomedical Research Institute of Lleida (IRBLleida), is interested in understanding the complex choreography of gene expression driving cell plasticity of tumour cells and their adaptation to new microenvironments. We have generated metastatic and non-metastatic models of colorectal cancer in the adult gut of Drosophila based on th
