The group of Prof. Carlos F. O. Graeff at School of Sciences from S\u00e3o Paulo State University (FC\/UNESP), in Bauru (Brazil), is looking for 1 postdoctoral research\u00a0 scientist. The application deadline for the positions is 23\/08\/2024. The candidates are\u00a0 expected to design, produce, and characterize perovskite solar cells (PSCs).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

About the Project:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The current project (FAPESP Process n\u00b0 2020\/12356-8) aims to comprehend the\u00a0 degradation mechanisms involved in PSCs, and to find solutions to overcome the stability\u00a0 issues of these devices. Based on this premise, several chemical and physical aspects are being investigated, such as: the synthesis of different perovskite light harvester materials, strategies for the layers and interface passivation, analysis of interfacial and defects\u00a0 phenomena, search for optimal electron and hole transport layers materials, the use of\u00a0 promising novel techniques for materials synthesis and devices characterization. These\u00a0 investigations will converge toward the primary objective of proposing more stable and\u00a0 more efficient PSCs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How to apply:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Candidates must contact Prof. Carlos F. O. Graeff (carlos.graeff@unesp.br) with a brief\u00a0 statement of research interest\/cover letter, a CV, and contact information of 2-3\u00a0 references. Students in their final year of Ph.D. training are encouraged to apply.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key project aims:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To optimize perovskite compositions to minimize defects during crystallization\u00a0 and thin-film deposition steps.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. To design novel electron and hole transport layers as alternatives for the currently low stable used materials. <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. . To characterize the structure, morphology, and optical properties of nanomaterials used as active components in PSCs.<\/li>\n
  4. To study defects and their effects on PSCs by using advanced spectroscopic and\u00a0 electrical and optical techniques such as photothermal deflection spectroscopy\u00a0 (PDS), photo-CELIV, and UV-Vis spectroscopy.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Requirements:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Ph.D. in Physics, Materials Science & Engineering, Chemistry, or related areas.
    \n<\/span>– Experience in the fabrication and characterization of perovskite solar cells is necessary.
    \n<\/span>– Experience different film deposition methods (slot die coating, roll-to-roll, spray coating, vacuum based techniques, etc) will be positively evaluated.
    \n<\/span>– Previous experience with the characterization techniques PDS or CELIV is a plus. – English knowledge (fluent in writing and speech).<\/span><\/p>\n

    The selected candidate will receive a post-doctoral fellowship from the S\u00e3o Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) of R$ 12.000,00 monthly and a research contingency\u00a0 fund, equivalent to 10% of the annual value of the fellowship that must be spent on items\u00a0 directly related to the research activity.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
