Job Description:
The National Physical Laboratory, UK,seeks a PhD candidate for a prestigious MSCA Doctoral Network position. The candidate will play a pivotal role in the MENTOR project on environmentally friendly indoor photovoltaics. Working on the topic "New methods for accurate and reproducible assessment of performance, losses and reliability in indoor PV cells and modules", they will be responsible for developing advanced characterisation techniques and test methods that will be applied to devices developed by project partners.
This work will include:
* Development of new imaging techniques to understand losses in photovoltaic devices.
* Accelerated ageing studies on indoor photovoltaic devices.
* Developing methods for comparing and rating performance of indoor photovoltaic devices.
The PhD candidate will not only develop new measurement techniques, but also the accompanying analysis methods and device modelling. They will need an eye for detail and a passion for accuracy and thoroughness. They require an understanding of device physics and an aptitude for device characterisation, device modelling, probability and statistics and coding. They must have a first degree in Physics, Electronic Engineering or a related subject.
The MENTOR project is a network of 8 universities, 7 industrial partners, and 5 research centres across Europe covering key aspects of indoor photovoltaics including sustainable design, organic and inorganic materials synthesis, photovoltaics manufacturing and characterisation, device physics and modelling, theoretical and machine learning-driven approaches, photovoltaics recycling, and industrial processing. It is coordinated by Tampere University, Finland. The PhD candidate will collaborate closely with the 16 other doctoral candidates in the consortium to develop device characterisation methods that will be used by project partners. MENTOR provides training and networking opportunities, including training events and secondments to develop the next generation of leading scientists.
NPL is a national research laboratory of the United Kingdom. Its mission is to develop and apply measurement science to tackle grand challenges, support economic growth and improve quality of life. NPL’s Photovoltaics capabilities support innovation and uptake of new photovoltaic technologies, and play a critical role in the development of international standards.
Please note that if you are NOT a passport holder of the country for the vacancy you might need a work permit. Check our Blog for more information.
