The University of Tennessee-Oak Ridge Innovation Institute (UT-ORII) is assembling a team of Electrochemical Energy Storage Research Faculty (EESRF) to collaborate with UT and Oak Ridge National Laboratory researchers in the area of Electrochemical Energy Storage.  Members of this cluster will be hired through the University of Tennessee Knoxville but most will have a primary office on the ORNL campus. UT-ORII was founded in 2019 by the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory to help the US maintain prominence as a global leader in innovation and discovery, and to create a robust talent pipeline in areas of growing national need and demand. UT-ORII is funded by the Department of Energy and the State of Tennessee. Roles and Responsibi
