Offer DescriptionWe are seeking motivated student researchers to conduct state-of-the-art research in recently established Laboratory for Advanced Materials at Comenius University (CU) in Bratislava, Slovakia, with the following PhD dissertation theme:Chalcogenide perovskites application development. The focus of the project is to investigate optical and electrical properties of thermally and chemically stable chalcogenide perovskites in form of thin-films, with electronic bandgap in VIS-NIR spectral range and test the possibility of their use in photovoltaics or other optoelectronic applications. The work will be performed at LAM in close collaboration with other prestigious local and international research institutions and members of the LAM team performing theoretical modeling and material syntheses.RequirementsResearch Field Chemistry » Applied chemistry Education Level Master Degree or equivalentSkills/QualificationsQualification requirements for interested candidates:

Completed university education (B.S., M.S., or equivalent) in chemistry, materials science, applied physics or related fields
Experience performing research in a scientific research laboratory
Experience with preparation and characterization of optical and electrical properties of thin films
Strong verbal and written skills in English language

Specific Requirements

Experience with fabrication and characterization of optoelectronic devices is beneficial
Experience with X-ray diffraction, SEM, solid-state UV-Vis absorption and/or photoluminescence spectroscopies is beneficial
Familiarity with high-temperature solid-state syntheses or colloidal syntheses is beneficial
Publication(s) in quality scientific journals is a big advantage

Languages ENGLISH Level ExcellentResearch Field Chemistry » Applied chemistryPhysics » Applied physics Years of Research Experience 1 - 4Additional InformationBenefitsWhere will you work? The research will be performed at newly established Laboratory for Advanced Materials (LAM), located in the recently constructed CU Science Park ( ). As a PhD student you will be a member of a multidisciplinary research team of PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and research staff, led by an internationally recognized researcher, ERA Chair, Dr. Milan Sykora. You will be able to learn about design and preparation of new materials, their chemical, structural and electronic characterization using variety of advanced characterization methods and development of applications in energy conversion and storage, optoelectronics, electronics or biotechnology. Your participation in this research will include opportunities to collaborate with other research teams from top Slovak research institutions as well as our collaborators from EU and USA. As part of your studies you will have an opportunity to present your research results at international conferences as well as participate in exchange research visits with our international collaborators.Compensation. You will be paid a monthly stipend in the amount of 1000-1200 EUR net, depending on your performance and experience, for period of 4 years. Thanks to a relatively low cost of living in Slovakia and availability of student housing, the stipend offers a financially comfortable student experience. After completion of your PhD you may continue your research at the LAM as a postdoctoral researcher, with the possibility to apply for prestigious fellowships (e.g., Marie-Curie Fellowship, Alexander von Humboldt fellowship), for international scientific stays at institutions and/or apply for positions requiring a PhD, such as senior researcher in chemical and materials science companies, an assistant professor position at one of the universities in Slovakia or abroad, etc.Selection processIf you are interested in the position, please contact Dr. Milan Sykora via e-mail ( ). In the e-mail please state why would you like to work at LAM (in the context of your prior position/experience and your future plans) and attach a CV (one-page max.). Recommendation letter from your mentor of mentors is a plus.
