Job Description
Missions
The postdoctoral researcher will primarily focus on the optical characterization of lead-free gold-based perovskites, aiming to elucidate their fundamental photophysical properties. The goal is to understand light–matter interactions, emission mechanisms, non-radiative processes, and electron–phonon coupling effects in these materials. A secondary mission will involve supporting the synthesis and structural optimization of thin films to ensure high-quality samples for optical investigations.
Activity
Main Activities
Advanced optical characterization: steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence, Raman spectroscopy, and complementary spectroscopic techniques. Analysis of emission dynamics, defect-related recombination pathways, and temperature-dependent optical responses.
Synthesis of lead-free gold-based perovskite thin films, and morphological/structural characterization using X-ray diffraction, microscopy, and related methods. Correlation of morphological, structural, and optical properties to identify key parameters governing material performance.
Secondary Activities
Contribution to data analysis, scientific publication writing, and collaborative research projects.
Your Profil
Skills
Requirements
Applicants must hold a PhD in physics, materials science, physical chemistry, or a closely related field. Hands-on experience with lead-free perovskite materials is mandatory.
Technical Skills Required
Proven expertise in optical spectroscopy is essential, specifically in infrared (IR) photoluminescence, steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL), and Raman spectroscopy. Experience in temperature-dependent optical measurements, as well as in analyzing carrier dynamics and non-radiative recombination processes, is required. Familiarity with thin-film materials and basic structural or morphological characterization techniques (such as XRD and microscopy) is considered an asset.
Expected Qualities
Scientific autonomy and the ability to design and optimize experimental protocols are expected, along with strong data analysis skills.
Your Work Environment
The project will be conducted within a multidisciplinary research laboratory (IPVF), specializing in optical spectroscopy and advanced functional materials. The researcher will work in close collaboration with experts in crystal growth, thin-film processing, and ultrafast spectroscopy. This project is part of a broader effort to develop innovative lead-free perovskites for applications in optoelectronics and photovoltaics.
