Offer Description
10 PhD positions in chemistry, physics, material science and electrical engineering
- Would you like to be trained in research at the forefront of organic solar cells (OSCs)?
- Do you have a background in chemistry, physics, material science or electrical engineering?
- Are you interested in doing your PhD in high profile research institutions across Europe under the guidance of renowned supervisors?
Apply to take part in the exciting research program of the “EffIcient Fullerene-Free organic solar cELs” (EIFFEL) doctoral network and become part of the next generation of photovoltaic experts in Europe!
Supported and co-funded by the European Commission through the Horizon Europe Marie Sklodowska-Curie Doctoral Network Programme, the EIFFEL network offers 10 high level fellowships for joint research on efficient organic photovoltaic devices. The most talented and motivated students will be selected for a 3-year advanced multidisciplinary research training, preferably starting from October 2024.
ABOUT THE RESEARCH
EIFFEL will focus on the development of efficient non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs), revealing the mechanisms of operation and degradation in NFA-based OSCs, and establishing synthetic strategies for their mitigation to form the basis for a new generation of OSCs - compatible with mass production - for successful commercialisation. The EIFFEL project offers the possibility to pursue a PhD within the Network at different universities/research centres/industrial companies from 7 European countries (Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Cyprus and France).
Background information on all DC positions is available on www.eiffelproject.eu .

Additional Information
Benefits
- You will get the chance to participate in specially developed courses (e.g. on specific techniques, academic soft skills, etc.)
- You can already at a very early stage start building your personal professional network due to the embedding of our PhD projects in an academic/industrial network
- You will be exposed to industry and the challenges in industry already during the PhD through the industry partners in the EIFFEL network (who also contribute to the training)
- You will get the opportunity to pursue research also in the labs of other partners (thereby you will get familiar with other disciplines, techniques, cultures etc.), as the research projects are designed such that they will mostly have interdisciplinary components
- You will be advised by excellent supervisors – they are all outstanding in their research and trainings.
- You will be part of a great international consortium. Part of the program includes a contribution to the project tasks, such as reports, management tasks, dissemination and outreach, thus offering experience in management and science communication. Mobility is required: you are expected to do at least two secondments at the other institutions within the consortium.
Working conditions and salary
Marie Sklodowska Curie Actions (MSCA) offer highly competitive and attractive salary and working conditions.
- Selected candidates will have a fulltime employment contract for the duration of 36 months.
- Selected candidates will receive a salary in accordance with the MSCA regulations for early stage researchers. The basic gross salary (living allowance) is € 3.400,- euro per month. A correction factor will be applied per country, therefore the exact gross salary will be confirmed upon appointment.

[1] ‘Family’ means persons linked to the researcher by marriage (or a relationship with equivalent status to a marriage recognised by the legislation of the country where this relationship was formalised) or dependent children who are actually being maintained by the researcher.
Eligibility criteria
The applicant holds a Bachelor, a Master or equivalent in Chemistry, Physics, Material Science, Electrical Engineering, or any other domain that the Scientific Board approves and is eligible to be enrolled for the doctoral programme of the selected recruiting institution.
The applicant is not already in pursuit of a doctoral degree.
The applicant complies with the mobility rule for the project(s) they have applied for.
The application is complete, in English and submitted through the online form before the deadline.
