Research Scientist Job
We are seeking a talented and motivated research scientist to join our team in developing innovative solutions for emerging photovoltaic applications. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and deploying an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven approach to streamline high-throughput experimentation and high-performance computation towards the overarching aim of implementing an inverse design approach for novel lead-free perovskites.
The researcher will work closely with colleagues from two institutes at Forschungscentrum Jülich, who are leaders in their respective fields. They will be responsible for creating a data management platform that connects institutes to facilitate rapid and efficient exchange among experimental and computational groups.
Responsibilities:
* Developing a workflow in high-performance computational studies and integrating into a mixed fidelity experimental high-throughput platform
* Creating a data management platform that connects institutes to facilitate a rapid and efficient exchange among experimental and computational groups
* Devising an approach in invertible predictive modeling that links semiconductor properties to the composition of lead-free double perovskites
Requirements:
* Master's degree in theoretical or computational physics, chemistry, materials science, or a similar field
* Familiarity with atomistic simulations, high-performance computing, and the application of AI-based methods
* Basic knowledge in photovoltaics and solid-state materials for energy application
* Ability to work individually and in a team, effectively collaborate, and communicate in a diverse scientific environment
* High proficiency in spoken and written English
What We Offer:
* A large research campus in a green setting offering excellent opportunities for networking with colleagues and for sports and recreation alongside work
* Superb scientific and technical infrastructure
* Opportunity to participate in international conferences and project meetings
* Continuous professional support from your scientific supervisors
* 30 days of annual leave
* The option of flexible working arrangements
* A structured doctoral program with a comprehensive suite of training and networking opportunities provided by the HITEC Graduate School and the JuDocS doctoral platform
This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated and talented individual to contribute to cutting-edge research and development in the field of photovoltaics. If you have a passion for innovation and a desire to make a meaningful impact, we encourage you to apply for this role.
