PhD studentship – Thermoelectric Materials Development
Job Description : The Laboratory of Solid State Chemistry at Empa http://www.empa.ch/abt131 is developing perovskite-type compounds and nanostructured composites for potential applications as functional materials in renewable energy- and environmental technologies. Applied methods in our lab are chimie douce techniques for nanostructured materials production, XRD, ND, EXAFS and TEM for the structural characterisation of new materials. XRF, ICP-OES, TGA with coupled mass spectrometry and TEM, SEM/EDX for the chemical and morphological characterisation.
For our MaNEP (www.manep.ch) project on “Thermoelectricity” we are looking for
PhD student on Thermoelectric Materials Development
The position is immediately available for a candidate (m/f) with a masters or diploma degree in Chemistry, Physics or Materials Sciences (or related).
The project is focussed on the development of novel thermoelectric perovskite-type oxide materials, characterisation techniques of thermoelectric materials and the development of thermoelectric devices for high temperature applications.
The ideal candidate is a communicative scientist with a strong background in chemistry and/or physical sciences.
He/she has experience on the synthesis of inorganic solids and their characterisation.
Experience with thermoelectrics would be beneficial.
