Postdoctoral Researcher in Spin Control and Organic Optoelectronics at University of Florence University of Florence in Italy

A two-year postdoctoral researcher position will soon be available in the Laboratory of Molecular Magnetism at the University of Florence, Italy. The position is part of the FIS2-funded SPIRO-χ project, focusing on spin control through chirality and exploring novel routes in organic optoelectronics. The research group, led by Dr. Alberto Privitera, operates at the intersection of materials science, chemistry, and physics, with state-of-the-art facilities for spin photophysics, thin film, and device development.

Key research areas include spin-light interactions in molecules and materials, chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS), and spin processes in organic photovoltaics. The successful candidate will work on thin-film and device fabrication, with a preference for experience in thermal evaporation techniques, and will conduct charge transport measurements. The role also involves coordinating and assisting PhD and MSc students and contributing to the growth of the laboratory environment.

Applicants must have a PhD in Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, or a related field, and demonstrate relevant experimental skills. The position is fully funded by the SPIRO-χ program, though specific financial details are not provided. The laboratory is located at Via della Lastruccia 3, Sesto Fiorentino, within the University of Florence.

Interested candidates should send a CV and a short motivation letter to Dr. Alberto Privitera at [email protected].
