Research Associate in semiconductor device physics of organic semiconductors
2 months ago
Applications are invited for a Research Associate position to work on a project to explore the electronic and optical properties of radical (spin ¿)-based organic semiconductors.
You will join the Department of Physics, working under the supervision of Prof. Sir Richard Friend, working closely with Prof Akshay Rao in the Department of Physics and Dr Hugo Bronstein in the Department of Chemistry.
One of the leading academic groups in the field of organic and hybrid electronics, our research programme is built on a broad scientific approach aiming to understand the electronic properties of novel semiconductors, but also aiming to understand in-depth the physical processes that govern the performance of organic, nanocrystal and hybrid organic-nanocrystal electronic devices, such as light emitting diodes and photovoltaics.
We have recently reported efficient light-emitting diodes using radical (spin ¿)-based organic semiconductor for emission. These materials operate entirely within the spin-doublet manifold, avoiding non-emissive spin configurations based on spin-triplets that compromise the operation of conventional organic LEDs and solar cells. This opens a new domain for the operation and design of organic semiconductors materials and devices, one that is radically different from what has been possible till now. This project will explore and develop the fundamental electronic and optical properties of this new class of radical-based organic semiconductor materials (ROSCs) and harness them to develop new possibilities for optoelectronic and spintronic devices.
You should have a PhD in Physics or a related area, and a strong background in the semiconductor device physics of organic semiconductors. A strong track record of high-quality research and an excellent publication record are essential. The ability to work well in a team will be crucial as projects will be highly collaborative, involving universities and industrial partners around the world. Experience with device fabrication, characterisation and modelling is desirable.
The position is available from 01/12/2024, or as soon as possible thereafter for a period of 24 months
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 2 years in the first instance.
