Description
Konarka Technologies is a renewable energy spin off from University Massachusetts, Lowell that is working towards commercializing a flexible, lightweight, printable, inexpensive solar technology that is much more versatile in application than traditional silicon-based solar cells.
Anywhere there is light, power plastic makes it possible for devices, systems and structures to have their own low-cost embedded sources of renewable power. By combining energy generation and power consumption within the same device, Konarka enables manufacturers to create a World Without Wires" with truly wireless applications.
Konarka is looking for an energetic PhD (or equivalent) photovoltaic scientist with 3-5 years (or more) of relevant experience in materials research and formulation chemistry for OPV devices.
The individual we seek have first to be outstanding scientists/engineers, comfortable with theory, but also ready to roll up their sleeves and work in the lab. The preferred candidate should have:
* Experience in OPV Device design and fabrication.
* Have excellent knowledge of device physics, applied chemistry, and polymer science.
* Experience in the areas of conjugated polymers, electronic materials science, organic electronics and/or printed electronics
* Hands on experience I-V measurements, AFM, TGA, DSC, UV/Vis, IR, spin coating, thermal deposition.
* The candidate should possess sufficient technical expertise to solve complex problems independently with minimal supervision.
* Present progress at project team meetings.
* Document progress in laboratory notebooks and reports.
* Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
* Carry out all work in safe and environmentally conscious manner.
The nature of the work would include evaluating and optimizing novel materials, device processing, and device evaluation. Our activities lead to the development of new technology and IP. This position will report to the Director of Materials and Chemistry.
