Establis Ensuring Stability in Organic Solar CellsA Marie Curie initial training network and research project

Developing organic solar cellsEstablis is an interdisciplinary research and training network aiming at developing the materials and techniques for cheap, flexible organic solar cells (OSCs) with ten year lifetimes and building-integrated large scale applications with more than fifteen year lifetimes.

The Project

ESTABLIS announces 13 open positions

The PositionsNow open for application

Ten PhD and tree Postdoc positions are now open for application. All posts are tailored to give complemen-tary studies across preconceived scientific boundaries, ranging from nano-scale profiling, through photo-emis-sion spectroscopy, rheology, charge recombination studies, organic and polymer synthesis, to formulation. All successful candidates will receive close mentoring to become leading scientists in solar cell related fields.

BenefitsGreat training environment

The successful candidates will be working at the highest industrial and university research levels and will build extremely well-sought after CVs.

The Phd and Postdoc will receive crossscience training in areas ranging from polymer chemistry and physics through opto-electronics to industrial-scale photovoltaic device manufacture. They will aslo receive complementary training in various field such as career development, entrepeunarial skills, project management, etc.

All the fellows will participate in the numerous workshops and be involved in outreach activities organised during the timelife of the project.

Two or three years fulltime jobs.

Very high salaries : ranging from around 36 to 81 k€ per year (minus employers, social charges and taxes) depending on position and country.

ProfilesHigh profile students
