Times Higher Education ranks the University of Luxembourg #3 worldwide for its "international outlook," #20 in the Young University Ranking 2021 and among the top 250 universities worldwide.

The Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM) contributes multidisciplinary expertise in the fields of Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Life Sciences and Medicine. Through its dual mission of teaching and research, the FSTM seeks to generate and disseminate knowledge and train new generations of responsible citizens, in order to better understand, explain and advance society and environment we live in.

A postdoc position is available at the Laboratory for Photovoltaics, led by Prof. Siebentritt, in the Department of Physics and Materials Science (DPhyMS) at the University of Luxembourg. This position is for a collaborative project which aims at understanding materials in highly efficient thin film photovoltaic devices.

Your Role...

Inorganic thin film photovoltaics require low energy to fabricate, are stable for decades, and have achieved efficiencies comparable to silicon. In this new project we will implement novel epitaxial solar cells and study the role of their highly ordered structure. Our publications (https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6522-1427) provide a perspective on our research directions.
