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.
Postdoctoral Position at FOTON Institute – INS ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
The FOTON Institute – INSA Rennes is offering a 1-year Postdoctoral position, that could be extended up to 2-years within the H2020 European project DROP-IT “DRop-on demand flexible Optoelectronics & Photovoltaics by means of Lead-Free halide perovskITes”. FOTON Institute – INSA Rennes is in charge of the simulation task of the project. This task will focus on the exploration of new lead-free materials and their interfaces with charge transport layers by Density Functional Theory.
Starting date: 1 January 2021
Project description: FOTON Institute - INSA Rennes is part of the DROP-IT consortium (8 European partners). FOTON Institute – INSA and the Institute of Chemical Sciences Rennes (ISCR) at the University of Rennes 1, are part of a joint perovskite simulation group in Rennes. The DROP-IT project aims at combining optoelectronics and photonics in a single flexible drop-on demand inkjet technology platform by means of exploiting the enormous potential of lead-free perovskite materials.
The main task of the Postdoctoral fellow is the investigation of the surfaces and interfaces between chosen lead-free perovskite materials and a selection of charge transport layers. A preliminary literature survey will be developed in collaboration with experimentalists to select the charge transport layers that are compatible with inkjet printing.
Qualifications: Candidates should have a master degree and PhD in materials science, solid state physics or related fields. The candidate should have experience on writing progress reports, interacting and collaborating with experimentalists. The ideal profile would combine a strong background on halide perovskite (lead or lead-free) materials, computational material screening methods, surface and interface calculations using DFT codes, high performance computing and management of local workstations, and also a great sense of autonomy. Good communication skills in English are required (written and spoken).
