Postdoctoral Researcher (f/m/d) Development of a Mid-Bandgap Perovskite Cell for Triple-Junction Solar Cells

Cell for Triple-Junction Solar Cells

Cell for Triple-Junction Solar Cells

Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB) conducts cutting-edge research on energy materials and operates one of Europe's most advanced research infrastructures, the BESSY II synchrotron. The Perovskite Tandem Solar Cells Department develops metal halide perovskite solar cells and has achieved several world- record efficiencies in recent years for perovskite/silicon (32.5%) and perovskite/CIGS (24.2%) tandem solar cells. Building on these achievements, we are developing perovskite-based triple-junction solar cells to further increase power conversion efficiency. Initial results demonstrating an efficiency of 27% were recently published in Joule (DOI:10.1016/j.joule.2026.102575). This position focuses on investigating the film formation and crystallization of co-evaporated mid-bandgap perovskites and integrating them into high-efficiency triple-junction solar cells. To strengthen our international and interdisciplinary team, we are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with experience in perovskite solar cells.

At Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin, you will benefit from a collaborative international environment, state-of-the-art research facilities, and a wide range of benefits to support your scientific career:

Fixed term contract for 24 months. The salary is based on the Collective Agreement for the German Public Service (TVöD-Bund).

We look forward to receiving your application via our application management system by 07.10.2026. For reasons of data protection regulations, we are unfortunately unable to consider applications that reach us by any other means (such as email or mail) in the application process.
