Job Summary

This Postdoctoral Research Associate position at Philipps University Marburg focuses on advancing sustainable scalable perovskite photovoltaics within the Physics Department. The core mission involves developing and implementing a system for in-operando hyperspectral photoluminescence imaging, specifically focusing on PL quantum yield and charge extraction during maximum-power-point aging of solar cells. The role requires implementing spatially resolved loss analysis during aging and utilizing AI-supported evaluation methods for large measurement datasets to gain a physics-based understanding of degradation mechanisms. Furthermore, the researcher will be responsible for manufacturing and optimizing perovskite solar cells, particularly those with carbon back electrodes (CPSC), and supervising student theses. This is a qualification-focused role offering the opportunity for independent scientific work in a dynamic, international environment, contributing actively to the establishment of a new research group.
