The successful candidate will

• Fabricate, characterize and optimize organic solar cells using different methods, from lab scale to pre-industrial Roll to Roll.
• Investigate the structure and photophysics of materials at the nanoscale using microscopic and spectroscopic techniques to establish the property-structure nexus.
• Design and build working prototypes.

Position 2

This PhD position is offered within the framework of the project “Finding a needle in a haystack: efficient identification of high performing organic energy materials (FOREMAT)”, funded by the European Research Council through the program ERCConsolidator Grant. This position is devoted to the development of cost-effective materials that can harvest waste heat and convert it into electricity. Starting: Summer 2016.

The successful candidate will

• Fabricate, characterize and optimize organic thermoelectric generators using lab scale methods
  
• Investigate the materials at the nanoscale using microscopic and spectroscopic techniques to establish the property-structure nexus.
• Develop novel imaging techniques to characterize the thermoelectric properties of novel materials, including electrical and thermal conductivities, and Seebeck coefficient.
• Model and simulate the thermoelectric response of the developed

Elegibility

• Essential: MSc or equivalent in Physics, Chemistry, Nanotechnology, Electrical/Chemical engineering or Materials Science.
• Essential: Fluency and clarity in spoken English. Good written English.
• Desirable: Experience with solution processing and organic semiconductors or spectroscopy.
