Doctoral student in Accelerated solar cell materials exploration

Would you like to develop sustainable solutions for mitigating climate change? Are you interested in materials, coding, and automation? This highly multidisciplinary doctoral student position at Chalmers University of Technologymight be for you!

About us

TheDepartment of Industrial and Materials Sciencesharesknowledge andtheirvision of technical solutions forthefuture industry in a sustainable society. Through excellent research, innovation, and education, we contribute to the development of future industrial value chains.

Inthe Division ofComputational Mechanics and Materials Engineeringwe foster an inclusive, friendly, and helpful work environment to which we welcome you to contribute. Our activitiesfocuson the modelling of the mechanics of structures, components, and processes along with involved materials,thusprovidingmechanics-based solutions and virtual solution tools to our engineering challenges.

About the research project 

In this project, you will co-develop more stable perovskite solar cells and effective automated approaches for increasingly autonomous materials experiments (for further information, please checkhere).

This project provides you an excellent starting point for an academic career that could focus on sustainable materials development (for solar cells but also, e.g., batteries or electronics) or accelerated / autonomous experiments. Sustainable energy and accelerated laboratories are also trending technologies in industry and start up scene alike. The framing of the project can be tuned according to your interests.

Who we are looking for

• To qualify as a Doctoral student, you must have a Master's degree ( (emails welcome during the whole call period)

  We look forward to your application!
