Job Offer from July 15, 2024
Project and activities
The aim of the project is to study the charge carrier transport in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) made from solution-processed semiconducting polymers. The role of charge-carrier trapping in the organic emitter film and its effect on the device performance will be investigated.
What are we looking for?
A Master Student position in the OLED group led by Dr. Gert-Jan Wetzelaer in the Division of Molecular Electronics at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz is available immediately. The selected candidate will conduct cutting edge research at the interface of physics, chemistry, materials science and engineering. The research areas include fundamental physical chemistry of solution processed polymer emitters for electronic applications. The candidate will gain fundamental knowledge into molecular electronics, polymer sciences and electrical measurement techniques.
Requirements
We are therefore looking for a highly motivated student with a background in physics, chemistry, polymer science, materials science or related fields, to carry out the following tasks:
• processing and characterization of polymer semiconductor thin films,
• OLED device fabrication by spin coating and thermal evaporation,
• electrical and optical characterization and evaluation of device parameters.
Candidates should send their application electronically, containing an application letter and CV per email to Dr. Gert-Jan Wetzelaer, wetzelaer@mpip-mainz.mpg.de. Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
