Four  Postdoc positions in Functional Optoelectronic Nanomaterials are available at the Functional Optoelectronic NanoMaterials group at ICFO.

Supervisor: ICREA Prof. Gerasimos Konstantatos

Description: The program will develop new hierarchical engineering schemes of inorganic nanocrystalline semiconductor compounds from the atomic to the suprananocrystalline level to develop high performance low-cost solution-processed solar cells that can cover the broad solar spectrum from the visible to the infrared in both single junction and tandem architectures.

The challenging emerging projects are:

  1. Project: A computational chemist/material scientist with strong demonstrated expertise in DFT simulations of semiconductors (bulk and nanomaterials) using various software platforms (SIESTA, VIENNA) ideally on materials for energy harvesting applications. (Code Name: COMP-MAT)
  2. Project: A synthetic chemist with demonstrated expertise on the synthesis and growth of inorganic semiconductors for energy applications. Relevant experience on the colloidal synthesis of inorganic materials with high phase purity and crystallinity will be considered a plus. Particularly prior expertise on the growth / synthesis of Fe-based semiconductors (FeS2) or other Earth abundant multinary (ternary, quaternary) chalcogenides will be favorably evaluated. (Code Name: SYNTH-CHEM)
  3. Project: A physicist with strong expertise on the set-up, use and interpretation of Scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy, Kelvin-probe Force Microscopy, photoconductive-AFM etc. techniques for interrogation of the local electronic properties of nanomaterials and probing optoelectronic mechanisms at the nanoscale using these techniques (Code Name: SPM)
  4. Project : A physicist or material scientist with demonstrated expertise on the development, modeling and characterization of thin-film photovoltaics at material level and/or device engineering level. Experience in correlating material properties (phase purity, crystallinity, composition, film morphology, interfaces) with device performance and/or characterization thereof based on optoelectronic spectroscopy techniques (including DLTS (deep level transient spectroscopy), TAS ( thermal admittance spectroscopy), PL, TPC/TPV etc.) will be positively evaluated (Code Name: DEV-PHYS)

Funding: ERC Consolidator Grant (Ref. HEINSOL, GA 725165) of the European Union (EU).
