Organization:<\/strong> Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen (LMU Munich), Department of Chemistry<\/p>\n

Applications are invited from motivated and talented candidates for a fully funded PhD position in perovskite semiconductor research<\/strong>. Metal halide perovskites are redefining the limits of optoelectronic performance, particularly in next-generation photovoltaics. Despite record efficiencies, their long-term operational stability remains the central bottleneck preventing large-scale deployment.<\/p>\n

Within the framework of the HOPE project<\/strong>, instability is addressed as a fundamental materials science challenge. The successful candidate will contribute to uncovering the physical origins of degradation under realistic operational conditions and help establish structure\u2013property\u2013stability relationships for durable wide-bandgap perovskite materials used in tandem solar cells and advanced optoelectronic devices.<\/p>\n

Research Responsibilities<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Fabricate high-efficiency and stable wide-bandgap perovskite devices.<\/li>\n
  • Perform device characterization, experimental loss analysis, and advanced optical spectroscopy measurements.<\/li>\n
  • Contribute to planning and execution of research tasks and ensure timely completion of project objectives.<\/li>\n
  • Present and publish research results in project meetings, peer-reviewed journals, and international conferences.<\/li>\n
  • Prepare regular reports documenting scientific progress.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Candidate Requirements<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Master\u2019s degree (or equivalent) in Physics, Materials Science, Engineering, or a closely related field.<\/li>\n
    • Strong background in semiconductor physics and optoelectronic materials.<\/li>\n
    • Experience with thin-film processing, photovoltaic devices, or optical characterization is advantageous.<\/li>\n
    • Strong experimental skills including experiment design, advanced instrumentation operation, and data analysis.<\/li>\n
    • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in an international research environment.<\/li>\n
    • Good written and spoken communication skills.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Funding & Duration<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Funded by a DFG Emmy Noether Grant<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      • Fixed term of three years<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Application Instructions<\/h3>\n

        Applicants should submit a single combined PDF including:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Detailed CV including B.Sc. and M.Sc. transcripts<\/li>\n
        • Research statement (maximum two pages) explaining motivation and alignment with the project<\/li>\n
        • Contact details of two referees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
