Fully Funded PhD in Organic Solar Cells and Cryo Electron Microscopy at Monash University Monash University in Australia

Monash University is offering a fully funded PhD opportunity in the field of organic solar cells, supervised by Professor Chris McNeill. The project centers on using cryo electron microscopy to investigate the microstructure of high-efficiency organic solar cells, with the aim of understanding how microstructure influences device performance. Students will gain hands-on experience in fabricating and characterizing organic solar cells, utilizing advanced research infrastructure, and collaborating with a dynamic research team.

The ideal candidate will have a first-class Honours or Master’s degree in physics or materials science from a leading university, along with relevant research experience and advanced coding skills (such as Python). The research environment is highly collaborative, and the group values curiosity, self-motivation, and teamwork. The position is fully funded, providing both tuition and a stipend for international students. Additional benefits include access to state-of-the-art facilities, mentoring, opportunities for publication, conference attendance, and international collaboration.

To apply, candidates should email their CV, academic transcripts, and a brief statement outlining their research background and suitability for the project. This is an excellent opportunity for students interested in materials science, physics, solar energy, and advanced characterization techniques to join a supportive academic community at Monash University in Australia.
