Fully funded PhD fellowship: Perovskite Materials, Leiden, Netherlands

Fully Funded PhD Fellowship: Perovskite Materials: We are offering a fully funded PhD fellowship in the field of experimental ultrafast spectroscopy at the Faculty of Science, Leiden University. The successful candidate will conduct research in the field of ultrafast broadband THz spectroscopy of perovskite materials, with a particular focus on understanding the dynamics of photoexcited electrons in metal halide perovskites. This fellowship offers an exciting opportunity to work on advanced spectroscopic setups, solution-based perovskite synthesis and the analysis of time-resolved spectroscopic data in a collaborative and supportive environment.

Fully funded PhD fellowship for ultrafast broadband THz spectroscopy of perovskite materials

Designation: PhD student

Research area:
Ultrafast broadband THz spectroscopy of perovskite materials, with a focus on understanding the dynamics of photoexcited electrons in metal halide perovskites in the context of dynamic disorder.

Location: Leiden, Netherlands

Eligibility/Qualification:

• A master’s degree in Chemistry, physics or a related discipline
• Strong interest in ultrafast spectroscopy and solid state chemistry/physics
• Excellent written and spoken English skills
• Hands-on mentality with the ability to tackle complex test setups and challenges
• Pleasant work in a collaborative environment with a high value on initiative and creativity
• Experience with ultrafast spectroscopy, optics, knowledge of programming (e.g. Python) and/or the preparation of perovskite materials is an advantage but not essential.

Job description:
The selected candidate will:

• Construct advanced spectroscopic setups
• Gain experience in solution-based perovskite synthesis
• Collect and analyze time-resolved and nonlinear spectroscopic data
• Model acquired data using cutting-edge theories with Python/Matlab/etc.
• Discuss with colleagues and offer help
