Assistant Professor in ‘Nanoscale Morphology of Organic Thin Films’

SDU - University of Southern Denmark

Sønderborg, Denmark

What we offer

The Assistant Professor position is a part of the SDU CAPE research center, which aims to develop new sustainable photovoltaics and energy technologies using scalable and green processing techniques. This includes activities bridging from basic properties of organic semiconducting molecules to synthesis of organic thin-films, and development of complete organic photovoltaic devices, to push the limits of new flexible thin film photovoltaics for the green energy transition. We offer an Assistant Professor position within a dynamic research environment that includes students, researchers and research engineers. The position includes both research and teaching responsibilities.

What we expect

Candidates who have a previous PhD degree in a field relevant to the mentioned area may seek the position (chemistry, material science, physics, electrical engineering and similar). You must have a proven track record of publications within the areas of e.g. synthesis of organic molecules and thin films, morphology of organic thin films, structure-property relationships, organic solar cells or related organic technologies. The ideal candidate has also demonstrated the ability to attract external research funding. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the work, the candidates are expected to have excellent collaboration skills. A very good capability of communicating scientific results in English, both orally and in writing is required.

The Assistant Professor is thus expected to:

• Collaborate with other team members at SDU CAPE;
• Take responsibility for and lead new research directions within the overall area of nanoscale morphology of organic thin films;
• Contribute to the development of new organic thin films for sustainable energy devices;
• Be responsible for teaching courses at SDU and supervise BSc, MSc and PhD students;
• Contribute to obtaining funding for research and innovation projects;
• Contribute to establishing and maintaining international collaborations.
