Organisation/Company: UNIVERSITY OF SYDNEY Research Field: Physics, Chemistry Researcher Profile: Recognised Researcher (R2), Established Researcher (R3) Country: Australia Application Deadline: 31 Oct 2024 - 00:00 (UTC) Type of Contract: Other Job Status: Full-time Offer Description Full time 2 years fixed term, located on the Camperdown Campus at the School of Physics Opportunity to make valuable contributions to research in multi-junction solar cells Base salary, Level A, $105,314 p.a - $116,679 p.a.
and generous employer's contribution to superannuation About the opportunity We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Researcher in Perovskite Solar Cell Research (Level A) to work within a research group led by Prof.
Anita Ho-Baillie - John Hooke Chair of Nanoscience based at the Sydney Nano Hub and the School of Physics at the University of Sydney.
The group has advanced research on perovskite multi-junction solar cells with breakthroughs in cell efficiencies and durability for various practical applications.
You will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with a high performing team with increasing capability and capacity expanding research areas to double junctions and triple junctions tandem perovskites with perovskites, CIGS, OPV, and Si for large area cells or modules.
Their true sustainability, cost effectiveness, and how they are integrated into circular economy are also of research interests within the group.
Learnings in perovskite photovoltaic have also been actively applied to other optoelectronics, photonic devices, dosimeters, storages, and electronic devices.
Within the group, you will expand your research skills and experience and grow in your career as a mentee and a mentor, and expand your research network when liaising with collaborative research partners.
Your key responsibilities will be to: explore new research for furthering scientific understandings, breakthroughs, and impact assist in developing new research proposals and building and expanding new research collaboration opportunities develop advanced modelling, novel material synthesis, processing, fabrication and manufacturing sequence, advanced characterisation and measuring methods for high performance or highly durable perovskite devices relevant to commercial applications (terrestrial and space).
Additional criteria include sustainability considerations and commercial viabilities demonstrate high efficiency multi-junction solar cells or develop low-cost encapsulation technologies for devices passing industry standards and qualifications assist in intellectual property protection and in liaising with industry partners for technology transfer prepare presentations for disseminating research and manuscripts for publication in high impact scientific journals assist in the supervision of undergraduate, masters, and Ph D students within Professor Ho-Baillie's group contribute to a positive workplace culture in which diversity of thought, contribution, collaboration, excellence, and achieving outcomes are valued and enabled work with other team members on establishing and maintaining best practice protocols for safe and efficient operation of the laboratories within Professor Ho-Baillie's group develop and refine independent research skills under the supervision of more senior academic staff carry out administrative tasks and contribute to faculty/school meetings understand and contribute to furthering the university and faculty/school strategic agenda undertake other duties and contribute to projects appropriate within the classification level as required.
About you The University values courage and creativity; openness and engagement; inclusion and diversity; and respect and integrity.
As such, we see the importance of recruiting talent aligned to these values and are looking for Postdoctoral Researcher in Perovskite Solar Cell Research who can demonstrate the following Skills and Experience : a Ph D (or near completion) in physics, chemistry, photovoltaics, materials science or related science or engineering subjects experience with 3 D, 2 D, lead-free, and inorganic perovskites; perovskite-based tandems, large area solar cells or modules a strong track record of modelling, characterising and demonstrating innovative device designs reflected by publications in high quality journal publications excellent communication skills with the ability to work dynamically and collaboratively with research group members, research partners, industry partners, suppliers, and manufacturers and the ability to meet milestones and deadlines good analytical skills and attention to detail and ability to utilise data analytics and modelling software accordingly experience in space solar cells qualification, acceptance standards, and tests.
