About this position

Philipps-Universität Marburg is seeking a doctoral researcher to join the Department of Physics research group on Sustainably Scalable Perovskite Photovoltaics.

The PhD project focuses on developing highly efficient, long-term stable perovskite solar cells with printable carbon electrodes. The researcher will develop functionalized carbon electrodes and contact layers designed to improve device efficiency and operational stability.

Key research activities include the development of charge-selective interlayers and ion-blocking layers at the perovskite/carbon interface, fabrication and optimization of perovskite solar cells, and detailed device characterization. Quantitative loss analysis will be used to identify performance limitations and guide device improvements.

The project also involves accelerated aging in high-throughput aging stations and multimodal operando characterization. These methods will support a fundamental physical understanding of solar-cell degradation mechanisms and enable optimization based on degradation-aware device research.

The successful researcher will work in a dynamic, growing, and interdisciplinary team with close personal supervision. The research environment includes an excellently equipped laboratory for perovskite solar-cell research, direct access to instrumentation, opportunities for creative input, and collaboration with international research groups and industry partners.

Funding details

The position is part-time at 75% of regular working hours for three years, with salary and benefits according to the public-service pay scale of the state of Hesse, Germany: TV-H E 13 at 75%.

What's required

Applicants must hold an MSc degree or equivalent in physics, chemistry, materials science, engineering, or a similar field. Sound knowledge of semiconductor or solid-state physics, materials chemistry, or photovoltaics is required. Prior experience with fabrication and characterization of perovskite solar cells, carbon materials, or interfaces is preferred. Applicants should demonstrate high motivation, careful and systematic laboratory work, problem-solving ability, an ability to work in an interdisciplinary and collaborative team, and a very good command of English. Willingness to pursue an independent scientific qualification, such as a doctorate in solar-cell research, is expected.
