Jobbeschreibung
We are looking for a postdoc motivated to contribute to the development of thin-film photovoltaic devices based on the CIGS technology and other energy-related applications. In close collaboration with other team members, the researcher is responsible for the fabrication and characterization of high performance devices with different concepts, develop interconnects, and explore possibilities for alternative electrical contacts in view of integration as bottom or top cell in tandem devices.
Upon mutual interest the responsibilities will be extended to the exploration of new materials, processing methods and device applications.
Your responsibilities include:
- Plan and conduct experiments to develop the scientific understanding and improve the performance of solar cells and modules
- Devices fabrication using various deposition techniques, notably high-vacuum coevaporation, chemical bath deposition, magnetron sputtering, atomic layer deposition and thermal/e-beam evaporation
- Characterization of material, layers and devices by (time-resolved) photoluminescence and material analysis methods, interpretation of results
- Take a lead in the exploratory research that can result in high-quality scientific publications as well as work in close collaboration with industrial and academic partners from Europe
Your profile:
- PhD degree in Material science, Physics, Chemistry, Electrical engineering or similar, with strong hands-on experience with in semiconductor materials, advanced semiconductor characterization and/or interface passivation approaches
- The work requires high level of experimental skills to operate sophisticated machines, analytical mindset for interpreting measured data and perform designer’s experiments for innovation.
- Ability to work in a collaborative team environment towards a common goal
- You are a team player and your strengths include taking personal responsibility, high motivation for innovation, excellence and flexibility to work and deliver results
We offer an international, highly stimulating research environment with excellent infrastructure and broad interdisciplinary surroundings with plenty of possibilities for personal and professional development. You will work on important and promising solutions to the global energy problem in an international environment. The initial contract is for one year and can be extended up to three years. The starting date is January 2023 or upon mutual agreement.
