Umeå University is one of Sweden’s largest higher education institutions with over 37,000 students and about 4,700 employees. The University offers a diversity of high-quality education and world-leading research in several fields. Notably, the groundbreaking discovery of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing tool, which was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, was made here. At Umeå University, everything is close. Our cohesive campuses make it easy to meet, work together and exchange knowledge, which promotes a dynamic and open culture.
The Department of Physics at Umeå University (https://www.umu.se/en/department-of-physics/) conducts strong research in the areas of organic electronics, photonics, electrochemical energy conversion and storage, nanotechnology, and theoretical physics.
We now announce three PhD positions in the field of organic electronics, with the overall goal of realizing a uniquely functional and sustainable light-emission technology through the development and implementation of “green” designed materials, advanced measurement methods, and novel device designs. The last day for application is January 7, 2024. The starting date is March 1, 2024, or by agreement.
Project descriptionsA brief description of the planned research is as follows: · The first PhD project is focused on the design, synthesis and characterization of functional and environmentally benign materials.
· The second PhD project is focused on the development and utilization of advanced measurement methods for the characterization of advanced materials and devices.
· The third PhD project is focused on the development and realization of a novel technology, termed a light-emitting electrochemical cell (LEC), by implementation of designed and sustainable materials and methods.
The PhD projects will be executed in The Organic Photonics and Electronics Group, and information on the group's ongoing activities can be found at: www.opeg-umu.com
