Beschreibung

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in Freiburg, Germany is the largest solar research institute in Europe.

With a staff of about 1400, we are committed to promoting a sustainable, economic, secure and socially just energy supply system based on renewable energy sources.

We contribute to this through our main research areas of energy provision, energy distribution, energy storage and energy utilization.

Through outstanding research results, successful industrial projects, spin-off companies and global collaborations, we are shaping the sustainable transformation of the energy system.

We are looking for a student assistant with the opportunity to write the master thesis in one of the research topics of our team "Perovskite Thin-Film Photovoltaics" as soon as possible.

This position offers you the opportunity to contribute to innovative research aimed at improving the efficiency, stability and scalability of perovskite solar cells - a key technology in the sustainable energy world.

You will work with a diverse, international team committed to pushing the boundaries of photovoltaic research.

What you will do

We have several topics to choose from and decide together with you which one best fits your experience and interests.

Our current focus areas are:

Fabrication and optimization of perovskite solar cells based on carbon electrodes with low carbon footprint. This research is a critical step towards terawattscale production.
Another important area of research is the encapsulation of perovskite solar cells and the analysis of cell performance evolution under real indoor and outdoor aging conditions.

Regardless of the topic you choose, you will perform the following tasks:

As part of your job, you will fabricate and optimize highly efficient perovskite solar cells
You correlate the quality of the deposited layers with the performance of the manufactured solar cells, e.g. by spectroscopic and microscopic methods as well as currentvoltage measurements.
You interpret your measurement results in an understandable way, summarize them in a comprehensible way and draw conclusions for your next experiments.
In the course of your work, you will present your results in internal meetings and exchange scientific information with national and international project partners.

What you bring to the table

You are studying physics, chemistry, materials science or a related field.
You have a strong analytical mind and a knack for experimental work.
You work in a structured and conscientious manner and are motivated to critically analyze your results.
Ideally, you already have basic knowledge of solar cell physics.
It is important for you to be part of your team, but you also plan and complete tasks independently and with high quality.
You have a very good command of English.

What you can expect

We make it possible to gain handson experience with stateoftheart characterization techniques.
We foster your scientific communication skills through project work with international experts. In this way, we support you in expanding your professional network in the field of sustainable energy.
We help you to raise your profile through potential contributions to scientific publications.
