Description

The Materials Discovery and Design team in the Materials Science center has an opening for a postdoctoral researcher to work on the development of inorganic polycrystalline thin film photoabsorber materials. This experimental position would involve synthesis, characterization, and processing of chalcogenide (selenide, telluride) and pnictide (nitride, phosphide) thin film semiconductor materials for applications as light absorbers and photoelectrodes in photoelectrochemical fuel production. This role will involve thin film deposition, with a focus on multilayer device stack fabrication, and characterization of semiconductor structure and properties, with a focus on measurements of photoexcited carrier dynamics and charge transport. Job duties will also include setting up and maintaining existing experimental equipment, and improving/developing data collection and analysis software.

This research will take place within a multi-disciplinary team,...
