Job description

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Early Stage Researcher (PhD)  

Helical systems for chiral organic light emitting diodes

The Laboratory of Marcomolecular and Organic Chemistry at the TUE is looking for an Early Stage Researcher (PhD student) to develop his PhD thesis project on the development of chiral organic light emitting diodes based on helical conjugated polymers. The contract will be within the framework of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie European Training Network HEL4CHIROLED, whose objective is to train a new generation of early stage researchers in the innovative topic of chiral nanotechnology for opto-electronic devices. HEL4CHIROLED is an international and multidisciplinary consortium comprising 9 academic partners from top European institutions and 2 industrial partners active in the technology market.

 The successful candidate will develop research involving:

- The synthesis and the characterization of a family of chiral conjugated semiconductor polymers driven by supramolecular interactions.

- The study of chiroptical properties of the supramolecular polymers in solution and in thin films.
