Job Title: Research Fellow in AI-Driven Materials Development for Sustainable Rare Earth Element Recovery Using Electrodialysis (AI-REE)

Job Title: Research Fellow in AI-Driven Materials Development for Sustainable Rare Earth Element Recovery Using Electrodialysis (AI-REE)
Hiring Company: The National Institute of Education invites suitable applications for the position of Research Fellow. This project focuses on developing sustainable and cost-effective technologies for rare earth element (REE) recovery. Rare earth elements are critical for renewable energy, electronics, and advanced technologies, but current recovery methods are expensive and energy-intensive. The project aims to improve electrodialysis (ED) for REE separation by developing advanced membranes and integrating AI-driven optimization techniques.
