Urgent! Collaborative Doctoral Project (PhD Position) - Computationally-enabled inverse design of perovskite-based materials for photovoltaic devices Job Opening In Jülich – Now Hiring Forschungszentrum Jülich

Collaborative Doctoral Project (PhD Position) Computationally enabled inverse design of perovskite based materials for photovoltaic devices



Job description

Your Job:

As a PhD candidate you will develop and deploy an artificial intelligence (AI) driven approach to streamline high-throughput experimentation (IMD-3: Institute of Energy Materials and Devices - Photovoltaics) and high-performance computation (IET-3: Institute of Energy Technologies - Theory and Computation) towards the overarching aim of implementing an inverse design approach for novel lead-free perovskites for emerging photovoltaic applications.

Your contributions will connect competencies and capacities of two institutes at Forschungszentrum Jülich who are leaders in their respective fields, viz.

AI driven materials property prediction and high thoughput materials development.

Computational studies will be performed on Jülich`s world-class computational and AI infrastructure.


Your Tasks:

  • Develop a workflow in high-performance computational studies and integration into a mixed fidelity experimental high-throughput platform

  • Create a data management platform that connects institutes to facilitate a rapid and efficient exchange among experimental and computational groups and

  • Devise an approach in invertible predictive modelling that links semiconductor properties to the composition of lead-free double perovskites
  • Your Profile:

  • Master`s degree in theoretical or computational physics, chemistry, materials science or similar fields

  • Familiarity with atomistic simulations, high-performance computing and application of AI-based methods

  • Basic knowledge in photovoltaics and solid-state materials for energy application

  • Ability to work individually and in the team, to effectively collaborate and to communicate in a diverse scientific environment

  • High proficiency in spoken and written English

  • Interest in learning effective usage of emerging computational infrastructures and methods
  • Our Offer:

    We work on the very latest issues that impact our society and are offering you the chance to actively help in shaping the change! We offer ideal conditions for you to complete your doctoral degree:

  • A large research campus in a green setting, offering excellent opportunities for networking with colleagues and for sports and recreation alongside your work

  • Superb scientific and technical infrastructure

  • Opportunity to participate in (international) conferences and project meetings

  • Continuous professional support from your scientific supervisors

  • 30 days of annual leave

  • The option of flexible working arrangements

  • A structured doctoral program with a comprehensive suite of training and networking opportunities provided by the HITEC Graduate School: and the JuDocs doctoral platform:

  • Targeted services for international employees, through our International Advisory Service



  • In addition to exciting tasks and a collaborative working atmosphere at Jülich, we have a lot more to offer:



    We offer a 4-year PhD position.

    Salary and social benefits in conformity with the provisions of the Collective Agreement for the Civil Service (TVöD).

    Depending on your qualifications and the precise nature of the tasks, salary grade 13 TVöD-Bund (up to 100%) and additionally 60 % of a monthly salary as special payment („Christmas bonus“).

    The monthly salaries in euro can be found on the BMI website:
