Offer Description
Position Overview
KU is seeking a highly motivated Post-doctoral Fellow to work on the design and synthesis of novel conducting organic polymers for optoelectronic applications. The rationally designed polymers will be well-characterized and tested for device fabrication and testing. There are two key responsibilities for the position: 1) Design and synthesis of both p- and n-type semiconducting organic polymers (supervised by Dr. Dinesh) and 2) development of new approaches for polymer integration/fabrication steps (supervised by Dr. Ammar Nayfeh). We are planning to implement a novel process to fabricate thin film devices including new etching methods and lithography techniques. The polymers will be synthesized in-house and optimized before being used in two different device architectures (field effect devices and energy harvesting cells)
Position Requirements
- Function autonomously, ethically, and responsibly.
- Collaborate and work in a collegial manner with the research team members.
- Develop learning initiatives, and engage in appropriate technical training and professional development opportunities as required by the project leader and the University.

- Carry out a specified research program under the direction of the project supervisor.
- Engage in the wider activities of the research group.
- Take responsibility for documenting the minutes of technical group meetings, and reporting the technical progress to the project supervisor and research group, periodically and in a timely manner.
- Engage in the dissemination of results in high-quality peer-reviewed publications as well as oral forms, independently, as directed by the project leader, and with the support of the research group.
- Aid supervision, mentorship, and training to graduate students working within the research group, as appropriate, and as directed by the project supervisor.
- Adhere to the University's information security and confidentiality policies and procedures, and report breaches or other security risks accordingly
- Perform any other tasks assigned by the Line Manager
