Job description
Offer DescriptionGrant/funding reference: 101086805Job title: ERC CoG – PARACRYSTResearch line / Scientific-technical services: Polymer ScienceTASKS TO BE DONEThe person hired will carry out research activities within the UDC Polymers Group. In particular, he/she will conduct research tasks included in WP3 of the ERC CoG PARACRYST (ref. 101086805).The main tasks included in WP3:
- Set up a laboratory for the manufacture and characterization of organic solar cells
- Investigate how semi-paracrystalline microstructure occurs in donor:acceptor photovoltaic mixtures
- Investigate the relationship between the semi-paracrystalline microstructure and the aging of photovoltaic devices
- Implement Machine Learning tools to the study of organic photovoltaic materials and devices
- Application of the knowledge generated in the manufacture of a stable photovoltaic device.
In accordance with the specific action to support the PARACRYST project by the UDC-Inditex InTalent Program approved by the Monitoring Committee of this Program, the postdoctoral staff hired through this call will be considered for all purposes a researcher of the InTalent Program, always that the selected person achieves a minimum score of 90% on the total scale established in this call. In that case, and thanks to their affiliation to the InTalent Program, the selected person will receive a grant of €20,000 with funding from said InTalent Program, which they will be able to manage directly as the person responsible for that grant and dedicate to paying for the research they develop at the UDC. . In addition to the research tasks described above, the selected person will be able to voluntarily teach under the conditions established for InTalent research staff, after applying to the department to which they are assigned and after its acceptance, provided that there are teaching needs. Additionally, the selected person will receive a grant of €20,000 with their own funding from the InTalent Program, which they will be able to manage directly as the person responsible for this grant and dedicate to funding the research they develop at the UDC.
