Researcher on highly efficient perovskite solar cells - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

The Department of Chemistry - Ångström conducts research and education in the chemistry field. The department has more than 260 employees and has a turnover of 290 million SEK. At the department's six programs, we conduct very successful research of a high international standard. We have a large number of externally funded research projects, often with international cooperation and we see continued good growth in our subject area. The department has education assignments in engineering programs and master's programs. More information is available on our website.

Duties
The main duty of the researcher is to conduct research. Teaching may also be included, but up to no more than 20% of working hours. Research is done within the framework of the EU-Horizon2020 project DIAMOND: Ultra-stable, highly efficient, low-cost perovskite photovoltaics with minimised environmental impact. The researcher is expected to actively collaborate and interact with the project partners and to plan and be part of collaborative work. The researcher will develop, synthesize and characterize highly efficient perovskite solar cells, using techniques such as XRD, UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopies, SEM, etc.

Requirements
The applicant should have a PhD exam (Chemistry, Material Science, Physics) or an international equivalent within the field of perovskite solar cells or other for the position relevant fields. 

Several years of experience as a (postdoctoral) researcher in the field of perovskite solar cells is required. Key competence is the skill to fabricate highly efficient and stable perovskite solar cell devices and to chacterize these in detail.    

The assessment of applications is based primarily on the applicant's ability to conduct independent research based on scientific skill. Greater importance is attached to the quality of individual scientific work, than to the amount of publications.

We will place great emphasis on personal suitability. Consideration will also be given to good collaborative skills, drive and independence, and how the applicant’s experience and skills complement and strengthen the ongoing research work within the department, as well as contribute to its future development

Desirable qualifications
Experience in working in international collaborative projects is beneficial. Know-how and experience with characterization techniques, such as solar cells measurements, XRD, GIWAXS, UV-Vis, FTIR, Raman spectroscopy, (time-resolved)  photoluminescence, etc.

Application procedure
The application should include a statement of research interest, CV, certificates of exams, degrees and grades, a copy of Master thesis, published article or relevant materials, if available. Also, contact information of at least two reference persons should be included.
