A 3-year PhD position offered at the Foton Institute in Rennes, France, from Sept-Oct 2023 to Sept-Oct 2026.

The theory group at the Foton Institute has developed since 2010 a world-class expertise in understanding the physics of perovskite materials as well as modeling and simulating their optoelectronic properties. This work, done in tight collaboration with experimental laboratories in Europe and the US, has yielded multiple publications in high-impact journals such as Nature and Science. Perovskite semiconductors have become paramount for photovoltaic applications and optoloelectronics more generally, especially in the form of multilayers stackings. The PhD, fully funded by the french government, will entail modeling the electronic structure and the charge carrier dynamics in these systems. A particular interest will be given to the coupling with atomic lattice dynamics, to carrier- carrier interactions and to surface effects. These calculations will be related to experimental studies performed by our collaborators: pump-probe, microscopy, spectroscopy, using large scientific instruments or done on functioning devices.
