Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.

In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

Two fully-funded PhD positions are available in the group of Tom Penfold at Newcastle University (UK), starting in October 2019. The group focuses on the development and the applications of theoretical and computational methods to understand and control excited-state processes in molecules and materials. For more information please refer to: http://tompenfoldresearch.weebly.com

The two PhD projects proposed are:

i) Exciton generation and transport in organic electronics: https://www.ncl.ac.uk/postgraduate/funding/sources/ukeustudents/case01.html

The aim of this PhD will be to describe the processes responsible for excited state formation in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). This will provide new insight beyond the present empirical understanding of the processes involved. Throughout the project a close contact with the industrial partner, Indemitsu will be maintained.

 

ii) Intermolecular Charge transport: A novel design paradigm: https://www.ncl.ac.uk//postgraduate/funding/sources/ukeustudents/renu194.html

The aim of this PhD is to combine theoretical and experimental work to reveal the factors controlling the performance of recently developed hole transporter materials used in conjunction with hybrid perovskite solar cells. The understanding obtained will be used to design improved hole-transporter materials delivering higher power conversion efficiency.

 

Candidates with a degree in chemistry, physics, or materials sciences are welcome. Applicants with a strong motivation and enthusiasm for scientific research are encouraged to apply. Both UK and EU candidates are eligible. The positions will remain open until filled.
