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: hybrid organic-inorganic ... (No replies)
Back to Job listings...
A full-time postdoctoral research associate position is available in the department of theoretical inorganic chemistry at Institut des Sciences Chimiques de Rennes (ISCR, France) for a talented young researcher. The position is funded through the prestigious H2020 FET Open program under the GOTSOLAR proposal on New technological advances for the third generation of Solar cells for a period of 12 months. 18-month contract renewal will be considered within a French ANR project. The appointee will mainly work in the field of hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites that have recently made a breakthrough for photovoltaic applications and for which the simulation team in Rennes, which gathers physicists and chemists from FOTON’s Lab (J. Even, L. Pedesseau) and ISCR (C. Katan, M. Kepenekian, R. Gautier), has developed international recognition. The position involves strong collaborations with world-class experimental teams.
A PhD Degree in Physics, Materials Science, Chemistry or related disciplines is required. We are looking for a candidate with a strong background in theoretical solid-state physics. Complementary skills in computational material science, such as codes based on density functional theory, simulation code development and/or expertise using MATLAB are desirable. The candidate shall be able to demonstrate his/her expertise in the above-mentioned fields through publications in high impact factor journals. A good command of English, both spoken and written, is mandatory. Autonomy and communication skills are also expected to participate in our project and benefit from the existing rewarding working atmosphere.
The applicant should send a detailed CV, including a list of publications and communications, and a motivation letter to [email protected]. E-mails of two scientists should also be given for possible request of recommendation letters. The selection will start immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
