About this position
The Czech Technical University in Prague invites applications for a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions co-funded PhD fellowship on “Diamond-based photovoltaics for advanced sustainable energy.” This position is hosted by the Advanced Materials Group within the Department of Control Engineering, Faculty of Electrical Engineering. The project is supervised by Associate Professor Antonio Cammarata and is part of the prestigious Horizon Europe – COFUND programme.
The research focuses on the computational design and characterization of novel nanostructured diamond-based materials for next-generation photovoltaic (PV) applications. The aim is to develop PV materials that can generate electric current through multiple mechanisms beyond the standard photovoltaic effect, including multiple exciton generation, singlet fission, and thermoelectric conversion. The project will utilize advanced computational techniques such as molecular dynamics simulations with machine learning force fields parameterized on-the-fly using ab initio data, as well as quantum mechanical calculations to analyze electronic structure and photocurrent generation in doped-diamond systems.
Students will have access to High Performance Computing centers to accelerate computational efforts. The outcomes of this research are expected to guide the design of innovative diamond-derived PV materials for multiprocess photon-to-current conversion, contributing to sustainable energy solutions.
The fellowship is co-funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions European program, offering competitive funding and benefits. Applicants must hold a Master’s degree or equivalent in Physics (preferably solid state physics), Materials Science, or a closely related field, and demonstrate excellent English proficiency. No prior research experience is required. Full eligibility criteria, benefits, and application instructions are available on the official fellowship programme page.
To apply, visit the official programme website and select “Diamond-based photovoltaics” among the list of offered topics. The application deadline is May 31, 2026. For further information, contact Associate Professor Antonio Cammarata at [email protected].
