Post-doctoral Fellow in Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering
This Job is based in Australia
The Opportunity
The School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering (SPREE) offers an opportunity to develop and apply novel approaches for improving the efficiency and stability of silicon solar cells.A Post-Doctoral Fellow (Level A) is expected to contribute towards the research effort of UNSW and to develop their research expertise through the pursuit of defined projects relevant to their particular field of research. This position is part of an industry-funded project under the supervision of Scientia Prof. Martin Green, Prof. N.J. Ekins-Daukes, Prof. Timothy Schmidt, and Dr. Jessica Yajie Jiang. The aim of the project is to develop novel down-conversion/shifting materials and fabrication techniques for silicon solar cells, as well as to explore the advanced physical principles underpinning the performance of these newly structured solar cells, towards enhanced efficiency and stability. The role of Post-Doctoral Fellow (Level A) reports to Dr Jessica Yajie Jiang and has no direct reports.
Level A, Salary – AUD $113,911 to $121,838 per annum + 17% superannuation

If you want a career where you can thrive, be challenged and do meaningful work, you're in the right place.
The School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering is internationally recognised for its record-breaking research in solar power (photovoltaics) and renewable energy. The PERC solar cell was first invented at UNSW in our labs in 1983 and today powers more than 85% of all new solar panel modules all over the world. SPREE's work and people have changed the face of sustainable energy on the global stage, and we continue to be at the forefront of leading-edge research and development in the field of renewable technology as our economies transition away from fossil fuels.
