A four-year (4+4) PhD position in organic synthesis of donor materials for organic photovoltaics is available for a highly motivated applicant at the Department of Physics, Chemistry, and Pharmacy at the University of Southern Denmark.
The position is financed through a DFF-Research Project 1 from the Independent Research Fund Denmark – Technology and Production Sciences and is available from 1 August 2022 or as soon as possible. Application deadline: 9 March 2022.
The project in question will deal with the synthesis and characterization of electron-donating dyes to be incorporated into organic solar cells. A major part of the project will focus on computational studies and organic synthesis of molecules suitable for organic photovoltaics. Once the molecules have been synthesized and characterized, a part of the project will also be to implement these molecules in solar cell devices together with our collaborators.
The ideal candidate holds a Bachelor’s degree within organic synthesis and has completed one year of the Master’s programme. The candidate should be experienced within synthetic organic chemistry and have knowledge of computational chemistry and various spectroscopic techniques used for characterization.
For further information please contact Associate Professor Steffen Bähring (sbahring@sdu.dk).
Application, salary etc.
Appointment as a PhD Research Fellow is for three (students who have completed their MSc) or four years (students who have not yet completed their MSc). Employment stops automatically at the end of the period. The holder of the scholarship is not allowed to have other paid employment during the three-year period.
The successful applicant will be employed in accordance with the agreement on salaried PhD scholars between the Ministry of Finance and AC (the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations).
