3-Year Post-Doc Position: Ghent University, Belgium, in collaboration with Peking University, China, invites applications for a 3-year Post-Doc position within the COFLIGHT project. This role focuses on advanced optical microscopy to study charge carrier dynamics in opto-electronic devices made of solution-processable materials, such as colloidal quantum dots. The project involves cutting-edge research in ultrafast laser spectroscopy, transient absorption, and luminescence spectroscopy.
3-Year Post-Doc Position: Ultrafast Microscopy of Solution Processable Opto-Electronic Devices
Designation:
Post-Doctoral Researcher
Research Area:
Advanced Optical Microscopy, Ultrafast Laser Spectroscopy, Opto-Electronic Devices, Nanomaterials
Location:
Ghent University, Belgium (Department of Chemistry, PCN/NOLIMITS Team)
