Postdoc Position

**Postdoc Position (M/F/d) | Material and device development for chiral organic semiconductors**
- FastE-Chiral_ _aims to develop novel organic optoelectronic devices capable of precise generation, detection, and modulation of chiral light signals, by leveraging cutting-edge advancements in materials science and optoelectronic technologies. The project brings together material synthesis, thin-film processing, device fabrication, and characterization in a highly interdisciplinary environment. This collaborative setting offers numerous opportunities for both technical and scientific partnerships with fellow researchers, enhancing your career prospects in both academia and industry.

**Your** tasks**:

- including chemical synthesis, thin-film processing or device fabrication.
- Perform photophysical characterization at both the molecular level and in thin films.
- Collaborate closely with other members of the ERC team to advance the development of functional chiral optoelectronic devices.
- Contribute your expertise to the design of novel strategies for both chiral and non-chiral organic semiconductors.
- Disseminate your experimental findings through publications in scientific journals and oral presentations at international conferences and workshops.

**Your**profile**:
Necessary Criteria (You must fulfill all of the following):

- Ph.D. in organic chemistry, materials science, or a related field by the appointment date.
- An understanding of the basic design and working principles of organic light-emitting devices, including the use of chemical methods to adjust photophysical properties of materials, such as emission spectra, energy levels, etc.
- A strong willingness to work in a multicultural environment.
- Good communication and presentation skills in English for both general audiences and scientists.
- Proficiency in English scientific writing, including but not limited to the preparation of scientific journal articles.

Desirable Criteria (Three or more of the following):

- Experience with or a good understanding of the operation of organic semiconductor devices, broadly speaking, light-emitting diodes, photodiodes, and field effect transistors.
- Experience with or a good understanding of chiral optical spectroscopies, including circular dichroism, photoluminescence.
- Willingness to, and/or experience in, supervising Master's or Ph.D. students.
- Professional experience with OLED materials, either in industry or through industrial collaborations.

**We**offer**:

- Access to state-of-the-art lab facilities for organic optoelectronic device fabrication and testing.
- Opportunities for professional growth, networking, and international collaboration.
- A supportive and stimulating work environment within a globally renowned research institution.
- Remuneration based on the German public service wage agreement (TVoeD-Bund), level 13, which includes comprehensive healthcare coverage and other social benefits.
- A cover letter
- Your CV, including a publication list (please highlight three of your most significant publications, each accompanied by a 300-word narrative explaining your contribution and the novelty of the work)
- A person specification checklist clearly demonstrating how you meet the necessary and desirable criteria for the job
- Contact details of two scientists who can provide references. If you have no prior postdoctoral experience, one referee must be your PhD supervisor
