Postdoc position in Singlet fission mediated 2-electron transfer reactions Reference number REF Do you want to be part of a rapidly developing research field to improve efficiencies of solar energy devices? Join our venture to combine the two fields of singlet fission and supramolecular self-assembled molecular materials. Project overview This research venture, led by prof. Bo Albinsson, is directed towards increasing the efficiency of solar energy devices by exploiting new classes of dye-systems for transforming the solar light spectrum to better fit the solar energy materials. In this project, we will combine singlet fission materials with supramolecular cage compounds with the aim of driving demanding 2-electron transfer reactions using single photons. The development of the supramolecular cages will be done in collaboration with Angela Gromet's research group at Chalmers University of Technology. The aim of the project is to turn the research ideas about these physical phenomena into successful practice in solar energy technologies. The division of chemistry and biochemistry has around 60 employees, including doctoral students and postdoctoral research fellows. Research at the division covers physical chemistry including ultrafast optical spectroscopy, biophysical chemistry, organic chemistry, and analytical chemistry. This recruitment is connected to the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE, ). WISE, funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation, is the largest-ever investment in materials science in Sweden and will encompass major efforts at Sweden's foremost universities over the course of 10 years. The vision is a sustainable future through materials science. All early-stage researchers recruited into the WISE program will be a part of the WISE Graduate School, an ambitious nationwide program of seminars, courses, research visits, and other activities to promote a strong multi-disciplinary and international network between PhD students, postdocs, researchers, and industry. Major responsibilities Your main responsibilities in this postdoc position will include: Develop the integration of singlet fission materials with supramolecular cage compounds. Characterize the materials with femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy and realize 2-electron transfer reactions triggered by a single photon. Qualifications To qualify for the position, you must hold a doctoral degree in fields related to chemistry or physics awarded no more than three years prior to the application deadline (according to the current agreement with the Swedish Agency for Government Employers). Exceptions from the 3-year limit can be made for longer periods resulting from parental leave, sick leave, or military service. You need to have hands-on experience with various spectroscopic techniques such as time-correlated single photon counting and femtosecond transient absorption used to characterize the molecular systems and devices. You are highly motivated, energetic, and have a problem-solving/creative attitude. Experience with developing optical instrumentation is meritorious. As Chalmers is a workplace with high international influence, you have to speak and write English fluently. Contract terms This postdoc position is a full-time temporary employment for two years. Chalmers offers a cultivating and inspiring working environment in the coastal city of Gothenburg. Application procedure The application should be marked with and written in English. The application should be sent electronically and be attached as PDF-files, as below. Maximum size for each file is 40 MB. Please note that the system does not support Zip files. CV: •CV, including a complete list of publications •Previous teaching and pedagogical experiences •Two references that we can contact. Personal letter: 1-3 pages where you: • Introduce yourself • Describe your previous research fields and main research results • Describe your future goals and future research focus Other documents: •Attested copies of completed education, grades, and other certificates. Use the button at the foot of the page to reach the application form. Application deadline: 1 December, 2024 For questions, please contact: Professor Bo Albinsson, Physical Chemistry Phone + e-mail: Chalmers declines to consider all offers of further announcement publishing or other types of support for the recruiting process in connection with this position. #J-18808-Ljbffr
