Oxford, United Kingdom Helio Display Materials Full time

About us:

At Helio Display Materials, we're crafting the fundamental materials that will shape the future of displays.Using the power of perovskites, these enabling materials facilitate the creation of displays that are not only brighter and more vibrant but also operate with remarkably low power consumption. Our team is dedicated to pioneering the future of colour. As we accelerate, we are looking for talented individuals to join us on the next phase of our journey.


About the Role:

We are seeking a talented and motivated Synthetic Organic Chemist to join our cutting-edge R&D team focused on the development of ligands for perovskite materials. This is an exciting opportunity where you will be involved in a new activity and make meaningful contributions to the development of our perovskite material and contribute to material science.


Our Values:

  • Knowledge
  • Driven
  • Unity


Location

Based in our custom built lab and office, 10 minutes from central Oxford.


Responsibilities:

  • Design and execute multi-step organic syntheses of ligands for the surface engineering of perovskite materials.
  • Develop and optimise synthetic methodologies for ligands that improve the chemical stability, optical properties, and device performance of perovskites.
  • Functionalise ligands to enhance their interaction with perovskite surfaces, including surface passivation and shell modification.
  • Characterise synthesised ligands and their interaction with perovskite materials using techniques such as NMR, FTIR, XRF, TEM, UV-Vis, and PL spectroscopy.
  • Collaborate closely with Chemists, Material scientists & Physicists to ensure effective ligand integration into perovskite structures.
  • Contribute to the optimisation of ligand-perovskite interfaces to enhance device efficiency and stability in ambient conditions.
  • Communicate and engage with internal and external stakeholders.


Experience and attributes:

  • Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry, Synthetic Chemistry, or a related field or a master’s degree and industry experience will also be considered.
  • 2-5+ years of experience in organic synthesis, with a focus on ligand design, functionalisation, and surface chemistry.
  • In-depth knowledge of modern synthetic methodologies, reaction mechanisms, and functional group transformations.
  • Experience working under an inert atmosphere and familiar with Schlenk line technique in particular.
  • Proficiency in purification techniques (e.g., chromatography) and the use of analytical instruments (e.g., NMR, HPLC, MS) to characterise organic compounds.


Advantage:

  • Experience with surface modification and passivation strategies for nanomaterials or semiconductors.
  • Familiarity with optical and electronic properties of materials and the effect of ligand chemistry on device performance.
  • Experience with bioconjugation would be an advantage.
  • Previous experience working with perovskite materials, quantum dots, or other colloidal nanocrystals.
  • Understanding of ligand-exchange processes, binding affinity, and their impact on material properties.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work on complex, interdisciplinary projects.
