Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique - Centre Énergie, Matériaux et Télécommunications
To accelerate the energy transition and mitigate global warming, the development of smart energy materials is essential. At the heart of Québec’s newly established Energy Transition Valley (Bécancour–Trois-Rivières–Shawinigan), the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS) and the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR) have formed a joint research unit (UMR) dedicated to decarbonization and advanced battery technologies.
Within this dynamic environment, INRS invites applications for a PhD position focused on the data-driven design of Next Generation battery materials. Li-ion batteries are a cornerstone of low-carbon transportation, offering high efficiency and the potential for near-zero greenhouse gas emissions when powered by renewable energy. Since cathode materials account for a significant fraction of battery cost, energy use, and emissions, improving their chemistry is key to sustainable electrification.
