1. PhD student in Physics (halide organic/inorganic perovskites, surface science)
The Faculty of Science, Technology and
Medicine (FSTM) contributes multidisciplinary expertise in the fields of
Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Life Sciences and
Medicine. Through its dual mission of teaching and research, the FSTM seeks to
generate and disseminate knowledge and train new generations of responsible
citizens, in order to better understand, explain and advance society and
environment we live in.
Your Role
The successful PhD candidate will work in
the field of halide organic/inorganic perovskites. This material class is of
extreme importance for the development of highly efficient and cheap single and
multi-junction solar cells. The project consists of synthesizing low
dimensional perovskites via multistage evaporation and to study these materials
on the atomic scale with scanning probe microscopy methods, such as scanning
tunneling spectroscopy and Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy. The work will be
carried out under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Alex Redinger.
What we expect from you
- Master in Physics (or equivalent) with very good grades
- Very good knowledge in solid state physics, semiconductors, solar cells and surface science is expected
- Candidates should have excellent problem-solving skills
- Very good written and oral communication skills in English are expected
- Creative and able to think independently
In Short
Contract Type: Fixed Term Contract 36 Months (extendable up to 48 months if required)
Reference: UOL05155 (DPHYMS)
How to apply...
Applications should be submitted in English online and include:
- Motivation letter
- Curriculum vitae, including publication list
- Copies of diplomas, including grade reports and transcript of courses taken
- Early application is highly encouraged, as the applications will be processed upon reception. Please apply ONLINE formally through the HR system. Applications by email will not be considered.
