Background of the recruitment and description of the project
Center for Advanced Photovoltaics and Thin-Film Energy Devices (SDU CAPE), invites applications for a fully funded PhD fellowship in “Advanced thin films for high performance and scalable photovoltaics”. The starting date is from 1 October 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter, for a 3-year period.
The application deadline is 5 September 2024 at 11.59 PM / 23.59 (CET/CEST)
What we offer
The PhD position is a part of the SDU CAPE research center at the Mads Clausen Institute, SDU, where we focus on designing, developing, and bringing forward new sustainable solar energy conversion and storage technologies, in particular new thin film solar cells and modules. This PhD position is focused on development of scalable organic, hybrid and metal oxide thin films, as well as their integration by design into new sustainable thin film solar cells and modules. The project will be part of existing national and international collaborations, and research stays abroad is part of the position.
The majority of your working time is devoted to your own research studies. As a PhD student you are expected to develop your own ideas and communicate scientific results in English. We offer a fully funded PhD position for the duration of three years.
