Ph D student in organic electronics

LINKÖPINGS UNIVERSITET

Applications are invited for the position of a

Ph D student in organic electronics aimed at solid state devices

at the Department of Science and Technology (ITN), Campus Norrköping.


Duties: As a Ph D student you are supposed to concentrate on your Ph D studies. An employee may, within certain limits, also work with teaching, research and administration. Such work, however, before the Ph.D. studies have been concluded, may not represent more than 20 percent of full working hours.

Up to now, organic electronics has contributed to the search for renewable energy mostly through the research on organic solar cells. In this project, the PhD student will participate in the development of thermogenerators. The goal is understand the thermoelectric properties of organic semiconductors and to create, design and process thermogenerators. The research is realized in a stimulating atmosphere in collaboration with (i) international research groups for issues related to fundamental science; and (ii) the research institute ACREO to investigate the commercial potential of those devices and eventual scaling up.

Qualifications: M.Sc in physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, or corresponding education.

LiU shall continue to develop as an attractive and creative work place characterized by equal opportunities, and therefore works actively to promote diversity and gender equality.

A majority of our Ph D students within the department are men, which is why precedence will be given to women, in cases where qualifications are deemed otherwise equivalent.

Appointment time: Ph.D. studies in Sweden lead to a Ph. D. degree after four years full time studies. Appointment time is one year at a time. A person who has been appointed and who successfully follows his/her study plan has priority to prolongation of the appointment. The total time can not exceed a period which corresponds to more four years full time studies.

.Applications that arrive too late will not be considered.
