Job Title: PhD Researcher in Novel Photovoltaic Effects

Research Area or Group: Oxide Nanophysics Group

Project Overview

The Oxide Nanophysics Group at the Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia (ICN2) is a world leader in research on new electronic functionalities induced by strain gradients (flexoelectricity). Our current focus is on a giant flexophotovoltaic effect, where large photovoltages can be induced in semiconductors when they are bent. This project aims to explore the possibility of achieving giant flexophotovoltaic effects in gradient-engineered thin films of perovskite oxides and to measure how such photovoltages affect the mechanical properties of the material.

Main Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be the main driver of this research project, responsible for fabricating gradient-engineered thin film devices, measuring their photovoltaic and photostrictive properties, analyzing and interpreting the results, and presenting the findings in various formats.

Requirements


• Education: Graduate Degree in Physics or a related discipline, with a Master's Degree completed before the starting date of the contract, preferably in an area related to this project (materials science, nanotechnology, photovoltaics, etc.)


• Knowledge: Specific experience in condensed matter physics is desirable, but not essential; our group will provide the necessary knowledge and training.


• Personal Competences: Competence, openness, tolerance, and willingness to help are expected. A good command of English is required, as it is the lingua franca of our research team.

Working Conditions


• Full-time work (37.5 hours/week)


• Temporary contract (4 years)


• Location: Bellaterra (Barcelona)


• Salary will depend on qualifications and demonstrated experience


• Support to relocation issues


• Life Insurance
