Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Electrically Detected Magnetic Resonance to work under the supervision of Dr Claudia Tait for a period of up to 7 months. The project involves the investigation of spin-dependent processes in organic solar cells by pulsed Electrically Detected Magnetic Resonance and is funded by the Royal Society. The project is part of a wider programme that involves the characterisation of organic solar cells based on a range of donor:acceptor blends by pulse EDMR spectroscopy at multiple microwave frequencies, with the aim to gain an in-depth understanding of the spin-dependent processes underlying charge recombination and therefore limiting device performance. In this role, you will be responsible for complementing and expanding on this work to help further our understanding of both the investigated systems and the EDMR technique applied to organic materials.
Requirements:
- PhD in Physical Chemistry or a relevant subject area, (or be close to completion) prior to taking up the appointment.
- Experience in the fabrication of organic solar cells for spectroscopic characterisation and the use of advanced pulse EDMR methods for the investigation of spin-dependent processes.
- Ability to manage your own academic research, involving small scale project management, coordination of multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines and be involved in training and mentoring junior research group members.
