Postdoctoral Fellow - Dye-sensitized Solar Cells

IMPORTANT:  This Advertiser has requested that applicants MUST be National Residents / Valid Work Permit-holders.  Other applicants need not apply.

 

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Post Doctoral Fellow to take an active role in developing and executing scientific strategies that enable us to reach our scientific goals.

On a day-to-day basis you will be involved in the assembly of dye-sensitized solar cells and their characterization using established procedures (e.g. screen-printing, back-filling, spectral response analysis, detailed optical analysis, performance evaluation under simulated sunlight). You will also play an active role in designing and establishing novel experimental set-ups and procedures targeted at the characterization of dye-sensitized solar cells, such as IMVS/IMPS spectroscopy and charge extraction experiments.

Location: Clayton, Victoria
Salary: $78K to $85K plus up to 15.4% Superannuation, effective from 5 July 2012
Tenure: 18 months
Ref No: VIC12/00697

To be successful you will have:

• A PhD in the area of dye-sensitized solar cells or related areas. Owing to terms of the fellowship, candidates must not have more than 3 years relevant Post-Doctoral
• Demonstrated research experience in the area of dye-sensitized solar cells.
• Demonstrated research experience in photovoltaic characterization techniques such as IMVS, IMPS, charge extraction and impedance spectroscopy.
• Experience in the development and evaluation of novel redox mediators for dye-sensitized solar cells
