PhD Researcher in Organic Electronics | Promotion (m/w/d)
Universität zu Köln
Job Summary
Join one of Europe's oldest and largest universities as a PhD Researcher specializing in Organic Electronics. In this role, you will be a key member of a research team focused on the fabrication and characterization of organic electronic (OE) devices. Your daily work will involve designing and conducting experiments to develop materials for circular polarized light absorption and emission, specifically targeting chiral organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) and organic photodetectors (OPD). You will take responsibility for experimental facilities, analyze complex data using programming and simulation tools, and collaborate with an interdisciplinary team to produce high-ranking publications. This position offers a unique opportunity to present findings at international conferences and contribute to teaching activities for Bachelor's and Master's students. The role is highly attractive due to its integration with the 'template designed OE' graduate school, access to state-of-the-art facilities, and a supportive environment that values work-life balance and flexible working models.
