About this position

Aalto University is advertising a Postdoctoral Researcher position in organic electronics / plasmonics within the QD group led by Prof. Päivi Törmä at the School of Science. The project focuses on controlling the emission properties of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using nanoparticles embedded within the device, with goals including improved efficiency, precise control of polarization, color, and angular emission, and commercialization potential.

The research combines nanofabrication and nanophotonics: electron-beam lithography, OLED fabrication via evaporation and solution processing, and optical characterization such as Fourier plane imaging. The successful candidate will design novel nanoparticle array geometries, fabricate and characterize OLED devices, and work closely with theorists on simulations and device optimization.

Applicants should have a PhD degree already or expect it soon, plus strong hands-on experimental experience in nano- and OLED fabrication, characterization, and electronics. Excellent English and scientific dissemination skills are required; Finnish is not required. The position is based at Otaniemi Campus, Espoo, Finland, and the contract is initially for 2 years.

Funding details: salary is €4229–€4649/month depending on experience, and the contract includes occupational healthcare. The application deadline is 2026-10-25, though the position may remain open until filled.

How to apply: submit a single PDF in English through Aalto’s online recruitment system. Include a motivation letter with a maximum 2-page research statement, CV with publications, degree certificates, academic transcripts, and contact details for at least two referees.
