PhD Research Fellow in Material Science for oxide-based photovoltaics (277294) | University of Oslo

The fellowship is a part of the Research Center on Solar Cell Technology (FME Solar) and is funded by the Research Council of Norway. It is based at the Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology (SMN). FME Solar joins the major research groups and important industry partners in the photovoltaic (PV) sector in Norway with the overall goal of increasing the size and number of jobs in the domestic solar cell industry. The Centre has a research infrastructure covering the entire value chain, and provides current and future companies in the Norwegian PV industry long-term access to world-leading technological and scientific expertise. 

The PhD Research Fellow is part of the Work Package on new solar cell concepts and will be focused on material synthesis and characterization of oxide-based materials for silicon-based tandem cells. The position will have a focus on thin film deposition by ALD and subsequent material characterization. 
SMN is an interdisciplinary collaboration between four research groups in physics and chemistry, and spearheads the MN faculty’s efforts for sustainable energy solutions. The Centre comprises UiO’s focus on renewable energy, materials science, and nanotechnology. Two of these groups are Nanostructures and Functional Materials (NAFUMA) and Solid-state Physics and Quantum Technology, which the PhD Research Fellow will be affiliated with. The research groups have an excellent infrastructure covering chemical, structural, optical and electrical characterization methods. Part of the research will be conducted at the Micro- and Nanotechnology Laboratory, with a clean room area more than 400 m2 as well as a park of modern characterization facilities.
