The department  for Interface Design offers a PhD research position on the topic of advanced spectroscopic characterization of halide perovskite materials and their interfaces in photovoltaic devices.
 They are looking for a highly motivated and curious scientist holding a MSc degree in physics, (physical) chemistry, or material science.

•  Knowledge in the operation of ultrahigh vacuum equipment and using X-ray spectroscopies is mandatory.
• Background in photovoltaic materials research is appreciated but not required (enthusiasm for such topics is strongly recommended!).
• An independent communication and collaboration with project partners to organize sample exchange and measurement campaigns.
• Excellent English communication skills are necessary.
• Additional German skills are advantageous.
• High level of intercultural competence and ability to work in a team is necessary

HZB are looking for a Research Data Steward for their solar cell research.  

• Do you want to fundamentally transform materials science with digital working methods instead of improving existing solutions by a few percent?
• Do you want to work in close cooperation with materials science researchers in their laboratories, observe and analyze their working methods and support us in the development of digital tools that are compatible with the special and individual work steps of everyday scientific work?
• Do you have a technical background and want to take on communicative as well as technical challenges?
• Do you like programming, and are you also interested in chemistry and broad content exchange?
