King Abdullah University of Science and Technology: Postdoc Positions:
Physical Science and Engineering Division (postdoc): Material Science and
Engineering (postdoc)
Location
King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST)
Open Date
Jul 06, 2022
Description
This postdoc position is designed for a specialist in the fabrication and
development of large-scale perovskite solar cells and modules.
For this position, we are looking for a candidate with an already consolidated
and demonstrated experience in high-efficiency perovskite solar cell
fabrication and characterization.
The experience of module integration and characterization will be preferred.
Responsibilities
Development and optimization of perovskite-based solar cells at different
levels.
Developing large-area perovskite solar cells utilizing KPV-LAB's baseline
processes.
Performing accurate device characterization.
Fabrication and large scale module characterizations.
Manage project tasks towards successful completion.
Dissemination of the research outputs in project meetings, peer-reviewed
journals, and international conferences.
Writing regular reports for the project outputs.
Bonus Points
KAUST offers a highly competitive salary. Benefits include housing, medical,
dental insurance, K-12 education for dependent children (subject to
availability), relocation allowance, and repatriation allowance. The
candidates will enjoy the multicultural experience of KAUST in an
international group with state-of-the-art facilities for the fabrication of
solar cells and material characterization.
Qualifications
The candidate should have a Ph.D. degree in physics, chemistry,
engineering, materials science, or closely related fields.
The knowledge of the physics and chemistry of wide-bandgap perovskite
would be an advantage.
As a device fabrication position, the nature of the work requires a high
level of experimental skills and involves the operation of sophisticated
deposition equipment.
The ability to design and execute experiments, utilize advanced
characterization techniques, and interpret measured data, are also
required.
The candidate will be part of a strongly interconnected and highly
cooperative team, and should, therefore, be capable of working in a team
environment.
The candidate should also have a strong sense of personal responsibility,
high motivation for innovation, excellence, and flexibility to work, and
deliver results.
Applicants should have a strong publication record, and good spoken and
written communication skills.
