** Job Description
** We have an exciting opportunity for a
** Post-Doctoral Researcher
** at Electrochemical Safety Research Institute (ESRI) UL Research Institutes (ULRI), based in our Houston, TX, facilities. The Post-doctoral Researcher will perform independent research in preparation for a career as a scientific professional, contributing to and advancing the research agenda of the Electrochemical Safety Research Institute.  The Post-doctoral Researcher will work closely with other researchers and colleagues to advance research excellence.
** UL Research Institutes:
** At UL Research Institutes, we expand the boundaries of safety science to create a more secure and sustainable world. For more than a century, we have studied the unintended consequences of innovation, designed solutions to mitigate risk and shared our findings with academia, scientists, manufacturers, and policymakers across industries. We identify critical safety and sustainability issues, asking the tough questions because we believe a safer world begins with knowledge.

Build a safer, more secure, and sustainable future with us. Join us and work with our Electrochemical Safety team who conduct the research required to produce that knowledge and put into practice.
** Electrochemical Safety Research Institute:
** The Electrochemical Safety Research Institute (ESRI) investigates the safety and performance limits of energy technologies. Through our discovery-driven research, we innovate, test, model, and lay the foundation for electrochemical energy storage that is both safe and reliable. Our scientific research helps everyone in the energy storage and battery value chain — from cell and battery manufacturers, suppliers, and original equipment manufacturers to recyclers, shippers, and consumers — understand and thereby help minimize the various safety risks associated with batteries in various applications, including electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems.

Collaborating with a wide variety of partners to help meet the world’s energy safety needs, we disseminate information by convening a diverse group of stakeholders at events such as global battery summits and webinars to find data-driven solutions to new and emerging energy storage risks.
