Postdoctoral position: Highly Flexible Silicon Solar Cell Development
The successful candidate will be working on a multi-disciplinary
collaboration between Simon Fraser University (SFU), University of
British Columbia (UBC), and Solar Earth Technologies. You will be fully
integrated into the Solar Earth collaborative culture and can expect to
meet regularly with industry leaders and experts in the field of
photovoltaics, as you devise new ways to integrate thin film technology
into heterojunction Si photovoltaic cells.
Solar Earth Technologies Ltd. is a clean energy technology Research and
Development company based in the lower mainland of Vancouver, that
develops novel technologies in the field of photovoltaic solar roads &
pathways and the future of paved surfaces. With our hardened solar
modules, that can withstand vehicle loads, Solar Earth Technologies Ltd.
is set to revolutionize the construction and energy industries.
This collaboration between Simon Fraser University (SFU), the University
of British Columbia (UBC) and Solar Earth Technologies to develop novel
solar cell solutions has resulted in an opening for a postdoctoral
researcher with an expected start date in the Fall of 2018. You will be
expected to lead a flexible silicon solar cell technology development
program that is already under progress with the goal of first-authored
journal publications and patents.
Ideally you will be a recent Ph.D. graduate with expertise in
microfabrication, semiconductor device physics, and electrical
characterization. You will work primarily in the Burnaby campus lab of
SFU under the direct supervision of Dr. Adachi in the School of
Engineering Science with some device characterization taking place at
Solar Earth Technologies. You will regularly interact with academic
collaborators at UBC (Dr. O’Leary) and industry experts from Solar Earth
Technologies Ltd.
The position involves the development of highly flexible silicon based
solar cells by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) using
heterojunction Si device architectures, and may involve the development
of graphene electrodes, light-management using nanostructures, or other
material systems.
Desired Qualifications:
* Expertise in microfabrication in a cleanroom environment (thin film
deposition, wet etching, photo-lithography, film thickness measurements)
* Expertise in semiconductor device physics with an emphasis on device
design
* Expertise with characterization of electrical devices and thin film
materials (electrical conductivity measurements, electrical
measurements of devices)
* Demonstrated communication skills
* Proven publication record in high impact journals
* Ability to work independently and with a team
Salary and benefits will be in line with SFU and NSERC guidelines.
Please apply electronically by sending your resume and a document
summarizing your research and career interests to:
Dr. Michael Adachi (Email address: mmadachi at sfu.ca).
SFU is an equal opportunity employer and encourages applications from
women, minorities and first nations. Preference will be given to
Canadian citizens and permanent residents.
