Offer Description

Name of research project:

Research and Development of Organic Optoelectronic Diodes: Materials, Stability and Device Physics

Description of the research project in which the research activities entrusted to the officer take place:

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join a multidisciplinary team at the MOLTECH-Anjou Laboratory, focusing on the development of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), organic photodiodes (OPDs) and organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs). The MOLTECH-Anjou Laboratory ( is a mixed CNRS (the French National Centre for Scientific Research) - University of Angers research unit which gathers approximately 50 permanent staff (CNRS researchers, assistant, associate and full professors, technical staff) and about 30 PhD students and postdoctoral researchers.

You will contribute to a number of projects within our research group KEMTRONIX ( with the overarching goal of designing the state-of-the-art organic optoelectronic devices, improving our device fabrication capabilities and boosting research impact of our group. Our group synthesises pi-conjugated semiconducting materials for OLEDs, OPDs and OPVs. These include thiophene and oligothiophene-based compounds, triphenylamine-based push–pull molecules, rylene-derivatives such as perylenediimide (PDI) or benzothioxanthene imide (BTI) derivatives and boron-derived materials. The postdoctoral researcher will test these materials to design, fabricate and optimize organic optoelectronic devices, focusing on the manufacturing aspects including miniaturisation of devices, encapsulation, flexibility and green engineering (simple device structures, solution-processed electrodes, green solvents and overall ease of manufacture).

You will also continue our research efforts on the design, fabrication and optimization of organic optoelectronic devices (OLEDs and OPDs) for neuroscience applications, by collaborating with two Australian neuroscience institutes at the University of Queensland and the Australian National University.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a dedicated team of chemists, material science experts and neuroscientists and work on cutting-edge research projects.

Responsibilities and Requirements

• Solid knowledge of organic semiconducting materials and organic devices (OPVs, OPDs and/or OLEDs) and the critical factors influencing their performance
• Excellent English skills (speaking, writing, reading & listening)
• Desirable knowledge: in-depth knowledge of fundamental photophysical properties in organic optoelectronic devices, including charge transport, ultrafast processes, recombination physics and exciton generation
• Know-how: Demonstrated expertise in the fabrication of organic diodes: OPVs, OPDs and/or OLEDs, including their optoelectrical characterization
• An emerging publication record in reputable, peer-reviewed journals
• Proficiency in maintaining accurate and reliable records of conducted work
• Desirable skill: electronic prototyping skills, proficient and proven knowledge of the operation of lab equipment including (but not limited to) oscilloscopes, multimeters, source-measure units, signal generators, soldering irons
• Desirable skill: demonstrated expertise in programming (mostly LabVIEW)
• A high level of drive and enthusiasm with excellent interpersonal, written and verbal communication skills
• Proven ability to work and collaborate within a multidisciplinary team
