Postdoctoral Research Fellow

The School of Mathematics & Physics and The School of Chemistry & Molecular Biosciences

The Centre for Organic Photonics and Electronics (COPE) draws together expertise from Chemistry and Physics in a combined facility (www.physics.uq.edu.au/cope). COPE has >30 senior research staff, postdoctoral fellows and research students and is housed in newly refurbished laboratories on the 9^th Floor of the Chemistry building that include state-of-the-art synthesis and materials characterisation facilities; a Class 1000 clean room incorporating gloveboxes with integral evaporators for device fabrication; and prototype measurement capability. The laboratory is located on the St. Lucia campus, one of the most spacious and attractive university campuses in Australia. The Centre has extensive experimental and theoretical research programs in optoelectronic organic materials for organic photovolatics, organic light emitting diodes, organic field effect transistors, light emitting transistors, and circuit elements.

This postdoctoral research fellow position is directly associated with an Australia-India Strategic Research Funds (AISRF) project aimed to develop lighting technology based on organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), and photo-sensor technology based on solution processed semiconductors. The project is at the frontier of the multidisciplinary field of organic-inorganic optoelectronics and has the potential for impact across a broad range of science and technology.

The role

The appointee will conduct research related to this AISRF project and contribute to the production of scholarly papers for publication in peer-reviewed academic journals.

The person

The applicant should possess a PhD or post-doctoral experience in a relevant area of organic optoelectronics device physics or engineering. The ideal candidate has expertise in creating light emitting devices (OLEDs, organic photo-detectors) and photo-physics of  organic semiconducting materials (e.g steady state and time resolved spectroscopy of luminescent materials).

The University of Queensland values diversity and inclusion.

Applications are particularly encouraged from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Remuneration

This is a full-time, fixed term appointment for 2 years at Academic Research level A. The remuneration package will be in the range $81,545 - $87,535 p.a., plus employer superannuation contributions of up to 17% (total package will be in the range $95,408 - $102,416 p.a.).
