The university has approximately 46,000 students and 8,500 employees in Lund, Helsingborg, and Malm\u00f6. We are united in our mission to understand, explain, and improve our world and people's living conditions.\nDescription of the Workplace\nThis position is attached to the Department of Solid State Physics at the Department of Physics, a department with approximately 100 employees where extensive research is conducted centered on various aspects of nano- and semiconductor physics, ranging from materials science to bio- and quantum physics with various applications. The department is a central part of NanoLund, which is Lund University's major interdisciplinary research center for nanoscience and nanotechnology. The activities also include Lund Nano Lab, a central and shared facility for the production of materials and components at the nanoscale. The department is also strongly engaged in undergraduate education, particularly in the civil engineering program \"Technical Nanoscience\" at LTH.\nThis position is part of a research group consisting of three doctoral students with individual projects where collaboration fosters good group development.\nSpecific Subject Description\nThe ZEUS project focuses on promoting the development of innovative and radiation-resistant nanowire solar cells with high efficiency. While current space-tested nanowire solar cells offer approximately 15% efficiency with single bandgap cells, ZEUS aims to significantly improve this efficiency potentially up to 47% by using triple junction nanowire cells using III-V semiconductor materials. For this purpose, this interdisciplinary project will also optimize nanowire surface passivation to improve voltage and current matching. The project aims to achieve scalability by transferring nanowire solar cells to light, flexible substrates.\nKey objectives include:\nIncrease the efficiency of radiation-resistant nanowire solar cells.\nScale up the substrate size to 100 mm\u00b2 and develop modules with a size of 1x1 cm\u00b2.\nReduced weight and material usage through nanowire scaling and substrate reuse.\n\nJob Responsibilities\nAs a postdoctoral researcher, your main responsibilities include conducting research. Teaching may also be included in your duties, however, no more than one-fifth of your working time. Within the scope of the position, there is an opportunity for three weeks of higher education pedagogy training. The purpose of the position is to develop your independence as a researcher and create conditions for further professional development.\nYou will work on the synthesis of nanowires and process them into solar cells for space applications. Characterization of the nanowires and evaluation of these in terms of external quantum efficiency (EQE) and current-voltage characterization (IV) will be part of the project.\nJob responsibilities include:\nepitaxy, cleanroom work\nexperimental evaluation of semiconductor samples with respect to nanowires\nsupervision of thesis work and doctoral students\nadministration related to the above tasks\n\nQualifications\nEligibility for employment as a postdoctoral researcher requires a doctoral degree, or a foreign degree deemed equivalent to a doctoral degree, within the subject area of the position. Evidence that the qualification requirement is met must be submitted no later than when the employment decision is made. Typically, candidates should have completed their degree no more than three years before the application deadline. If there are special reasons, the doctoral degree may have been completed earlier.\nRead the full job listing and apply here: https:\/\/lu.varbi.com\/what:job\/jobID:953999\/","language":"sv","is_translated":true,"title_original":"Postdoktor i fasta tillst\u00e5ndets fysik","description_original":"Lunds universitet grundades 1666 och rankas \u00e5terkommande som ett av v\u00e4rldens fr\u00e4msta l\u00e4ros\u00e4ten.
