The Position:
Postdoctoral Fellows are appointed for up to three years and will work closely with a leading Research Scientist or Engineer in their respective field. They carry out innovative, impactful research of strategic importance to CSIRO with the possibility of novel and important scientific outcomes. They present the findings in appropriate publications and at conferences.
CSIRO Energy has established the National Solar Energy Centre (NSEC) in Newcastle to conduct world class research and development in solar processes, components and photovoltaics. Our Solar Energy Technologies Group now welcomes a self-motivated and innovative Postdoctoral Fellowfrom a physical chemistry, chemistry, physics, engineering or materials science background wanting to join an exciting, interdisciplinary team in the priority area of Perovskite semiconductors in the emerging area of multi-junction or tandem solar cells.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will explore deposition technique / reagent-material / film-thickness parameters and target optimisation of the top-cell in a tandem device by systematically investigating the conditions for depositing a conformal perovskite coating on a complementary semiconductor bottom-cell. Realisation of an effective tandem structure will require the Fellow to innovate in investigation, identification and mitigation of energetic loss mechanisms at the electrode interfaces. Careful design, screening and optimisation of conformal coatings will significantly improve the perovskite top-cell device performance and consequently the overall multi-junction cell.
Your duties will include:
Location: Newcastle, NSW
Salary: $82k to $93k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure: Specified term of up to 3 years
