Norway: PhD Position in Nanomaterials for Solar Cells, Norwegian University of Science and Technology

Ph.D. position within the area “Nanomaterials for solar cells” at Department of Electronics and Telecommunications, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway – IME-033-2007.
A research fellowship is offered within the area of “Nanomaterials for solar cells” at the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications (http://www.iet.ntnu.no/en) in the Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

The Norwegian Research Council and the American National Science Foundation is financing a new project on nanostructured thin films for hybrid solar cells. The main objective of the project is to establish an improved understanding of organic/inorganic interfaces and to engineer interfaces that promote efficient organic/inorganic solar cells. The candidate will be involved in the controlled growth of planar and nanostructured (nanorods/nanowires) oxide thin films (ZnO and other oxides) by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The organic/inorganic materials will be analysed by TEM, Auger spectroscopy and other techniques (XRD, SEM, AFM). Optical properties will also be studied by photoluminescence techniques as well as scanning near-field optical microscopy. This project is done in close collaboration with SINTEF Materials and Chemistry (Trondheim) and also with the Colorado School of Mines (USA) where the student will have the opportunity to work for six months.

We seek highly motivated individuals holding, or expecting to obtain by Aug. 2007, a masters degree in physics, physical electronics or other relevant disciplines.

Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Professor Helge Weman by phone +47 73594409 or e-mail: helge.weman (at) iet.ntnu.no for further information.

Award holders at NTNU are normally appointed for 4 years with 25% of the time spent on specified work. The objective of the grant is to obtain a PhD degree, hence the successful applicant must be enrolled as a PhD candidate at NTNU. See also information about PhD education at NTNU at http://www.ime.ntnu.no/english/studies

The appointment is at code 1017, salary level 43-58 in the national salary scheme, gross NOK. 325.600 – 423.800 per annum (1 NOK ~ 0.125 EUR), of which 2% is deducted for the State Pension scheme. Salary will be subject to agreement with your employer.

The appointment will be made in accordance with current regulations with supplementary rules for research fellowship appointments in universities and polytechnics. Applicants must agree to participate in organised doctoral study programs within the period of the appointment. The successful applicant must agree to the conditions laid down for public employees. A contract will be drawn up regarding the period of appointment and work-related duties for award holders.

The national labour force must reflect the composition of the population to the greatest possible extent. It is therefore a major political objective to achieve a balance of age and gender and to recruit persons with an immigrant background. Immigrants are encouraged to apply for this post. NTNU wants to increase the proportion of women in its scientific posts. Women are encouraged to apply.

The application must contain information about education, examinations and previous experience. Certified copies of certificates and documents must be attached.

Copies of publications and any other work which the applicant wishes to be taken into account should also be enclosed. Joint works will be considered. If it is difficult to specify the input of the applicant in a joint work, a short summary should be attached outlining the applicant’s input.

Applications are to be sent to the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Information Technology, Mathematics and Electrical Engineering, Sem Sælands vei 5, N 7491 Trondheim, Norway. Applications should be marked Jnr. IME-033-2007.

The application deadline is: June 25th 2007.
