Our Laboratory for Thin Films and Photovoltaics is looking for a
Postdoc in the field of solid-state batteriesThe Laboratory for Thin Films and Photovoltaics is internationally known for innovative research in the field of inorganic and organic-inorganic hybrid thin film photovoltaic and battery technologies. The Laboratory holds the world record for energy conversion efficiency of Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) and CdTe solar cells on flexible substrates, and semitransparent perovskite and tandem solar cells. One developing research topic is thin-film solid-state batteries, a promising approach for safer batteries with higher energy densities.
Your Profile
We are looking for a highly motivated scientist with a strong background in materials science and preferably also in solid state ionics. You have a PhD degree in physics, materials science, electrical engineering, or similar field with strong experience in solid state ionics. In-depth experience in thin film deposition, and advanced characterization methods, and/or simulation and modeling of electrochemical systems is advantageous. The work requires high level of experimental skills to operate sophisticated machines and design innovative experiments for developing next generation of batteries. You are a team player and your strengths include taking personal responsibility, high motivation for innovation, excellence and flexibility to work.
Our Offer
We offer a postdoc position at the research institution with excellent infrastructure and broad interdisciplinary surroundings with plenty of possibilities for personal and professional development. The initial contract is for one year and can be extended upon mutual agreement.
