Perovskite Photonics: LED Devices & Nanostructures

Dunhillmedical; Sheffield; Hybrid; GBP 40,000 - 42,000; Part time

Job summary

The University of Sheffield invites applications for a Research Associate in Perovskite Photonic Devices within the Mathematical & Physical Sciences department. The post is a fixed-term, full-time hybrid role with a salary of £39,560–£41,885 per year and a closing date of 01/12/2026.

The role focuses on synthesising and characterising high-quality 2D and 3D perovskite thin films, engineering them into light-emitting RCLED devices, and applying lithography to create photonic waveguide structures.

Qualifications

• Experience in synthesis and characterisation of perovskite materials is desirable.
• Fabrication and testing of perovskite light emitting devices is advantageous.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop and refine experiments to obtain reliable data.
• Carry out experimental research using chemicals and solvents.
• Fabricate and characterise 2D and 3D perovskite films using structural and optical tools.
• Fabricate high-brightness resonant cavity LEDs and characterise their emission.
• Develop processes for micro- and nano-lithography of perovskite thin films and characterise structures.
