About the Role:

As part of our ongoing expansion, we are excited to expand our perovskites formulation team.

In this role, you will take a key role in the functionalisation of perovskites nanocrystals which is an essential part of developing formulation for photoreactive/cross linkable perovskites.

Responsibilities:  

  • Development of  perovskites formulations for high resolution patterning.
  • Utilise a broad range of analytical (internally or at suppliers site) and optical characterisation techniques to assess functionalised materials and formulations.
  • Liaising with synthetic core materials team to source and develop perovskites materials.

Experience & Attributes:

  • At least 2+ years industry experience with PhD in chemistry, material science or related field or at least 3+years experience with master in chemistry, material science or related field.
  • Demonstrated capability to develop advanced materials formulations.
  • Expert knowledge of organic ligands and surface chemistry.
  • Hands-on experience with molecular characterization tools (NMR, FT-IR, GPC, HPLC, GC etc.).
  • Experience in material characterization techniques (SEM/TEM, AFM, XPS, XRD/XRR, DSC, TGA, etc.).
  • Ability to generate new ideas, make a convincing case supported by data and drive to implementation.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to convey complex information to diverse audiences.
  • Self motivated with critical thinking skills.
  • Ability to manage own projects.

Advantage:

  • Knowledge of perovskite materials.
  • Experience in material design for advanced photoresists.
  • Experience with photolithography.
  • Experience in colour conversion nanocrystals patterning for microdisplays.
  • Industry experience would be an advantage.
