Theorist Specializing in the Physics of OPV Materials – Kent State University – Kent, OH

Posted by Denise on 08/24 at 07:29 AM

As part of a growing interest in the areas of renewable and sustainable technologies, Kent State University is seeking highly accomplished individuals to join a multi-disciplinary effort to develop improved organic photovoltaic (OPV) materials and devices.  Initially, we are pursuing two coordinated hires at the junior tenure track level: an experimentalist in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and a theorist in the Department of Physics.
We seek a theoretical physicist who will work closely with experimentalists both within and outside his/her discipline. Applicants should have expertise in the physics of organic electronic materials, such as charge transport and photogeneration. Materials of current interest include organic crystals, liquid crystals, and glasses based on small-molecule organic semiconductors. Experience with modern quantum computational and analytical techniques is essential. All correspondence relating to this position should be emailed to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address), or mailed to: OPV Faculty Search, Department of Physics, Kent State University, PO Box 5190, Kent, OH 44242. Job #999483
Successful candidates are expected to develop an externally funded collaborative research program and to teach effectively at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a detailed research plan, a statement outlining teaching interests and philosophy, and arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to one of the above addresses. Review of applications will begin on September 15, 2011, and will continue until the positions are filled. Kent State University is committed to the pursuit and cultivation of diversity and excellence in its student body, staff and faculty. As such, women and minorities are urged to apply.
