Looking for motivated PhD students and postdocs to work on computational Physics in organic electronics, especially organic photovoltaics. Background in Physics or computational Physics is desirable. Or other relevant background (e.g. material science, electrical engineering, and optoelectronics) with sufficient experience or strong interest in computational physics are also a good fit. Programing experience is desirable.
