Postdoctoral Researcher in 2D Covalent Thin Films for Light-Induced Energy Conversion | Postdoctoral Position (m/f/d) in 2D Covalent Thin Films for Light-Induced Energy Conversion

Job Summary

This is a demanding postdoctoral research position focused on the design, synthesis, and mechanistic study of 2D covalent semiconductor thin films for light-induced energy conversion. The successful candidate will lead cutting-edge research within a cross-functional European project team, focusing on developing new materials from molecular precursors and applying them in flow systems. Key responsibilities include synthesizing and characterizing 2D semiconductor thin films, developing microfluidic systems, and conducting advanced in-operando spectroscopic characterization, often at state-of-the-art synchrotron facilities. This role requires a PhD in Chemistry or Materials Science, a strong publication record, and extensive expertise in thin films, materials synthesis, and energy conversion. It offers a stimulating, interdisciplinary environment within the world-class Max Planck Institute in Potsdam, Germany, providing access to advanced research infrastructure and competitive public sector remuneration.
