Job Offer: Technology Transfer Fellow:Job description:Job location: Swansea Faculty of Science and Engineering Job location: This position will be located at the Bay Campus We are seeking to appoint a technology transfer fellow in the area of sustainable chemistry, time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy and materials photochemistry with the College of Engineering at Swansea University. You will work in the Applied Photochemistry group of Dr Matthew Davies part of the SPECIFIC IKC, Materials Research Centre, Swansea University. The post will primarily involve improving the sustaincapability of printable PV materials (perovskite, organic and dye-sensitized solar cells) and characterizing interventions via steady state and time resolved photoluminescence techniques and the suite of complimentary equipment available within the SPECIFIC IKC. We are particularly interested in the studying materials with improved sustaincapability (greener solvents, precursors, additives etc) and studying the uniformity, morphology and photophysical behavior of printed PV to develop an knowledge of device photophysics and photochemistry to inform development of remanufacturing and material substitution strategies for perovskite devices. The function will also involve linking research across the SPECIFIC IKC and our network of collaborators providing photochemical characterization for connected research projects. The position will be located on the newly built Bay Campus in Swansea, a £450 million development project aimed at providing the best university facilities in the UK, in an outstanding location. candidates should hold a Ph.D. or equivalent in a significant area of physical chemistry (e.g. photochemistry / photophysics) and have significant practice of time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy of perovskite and organic thin-films, charge carrier recombination models used to fit data and advanced capability to process these data sets. practice of the manufacture and characterization of laboratory scale PV would be an advantage. Main tasks » Manufacturing, developing and characterizing perovskite solar cells and perovskite thin films » Improving sustaincapability/environmental performance of perovskite solar cells » Correlating the steady state and time resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy of perovskite materials with their uniformity, morphology and device performance. » Help with the efficient running and management of the applied photochemistry group » Provide training on the equipment available within the group to other SPECIFIC/SU researchers and external collaborators » Presentation of the results of this work both internally and externally, including as oral presentation and written reports and publications » To assist in the co-supervision of postgraduate students Informal information: Informal information: informal enquiries are welcome and should be directed to Matthew Davies atM.L.Davies@Swansea.ac.ukMore information on the SPECIFIC IKC can be found athttp://www.specific.eu.com Skills:
