PhD Perovskite Solar Technology; Queen Mary University

A funded PhD opportunity is available in Perovskite Solar Technology at Queen Mary University of London in Stoichko Dimitrov's group. The project focuses on the scale‑up and optimisation of perovskite solar cells, with an emphasis on high‑throughput material characterisation and the development of fabrication methods. The role involves hands‑on laboratory work, instrumentation design, and data‑driven analysis to accelerate photovoltaic device development.

The candidate will present results at conferences and seminars and engage with the wider renewable‑energy research community.

• Master’s degree (MSc or MSci) with a strong academic record
• Background in Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, or related disciplines
• Experience with laboratory research, data analysis, and scientific reporting
• Understanding or experience with photovoltaics (perovskites desirable)
• Motivation to work on renewable‑energy technologies and sustainable innovation

- This opportunity is open only to UK nationals and UK residents.

- Starting in September 2026

Queen Mary University of London is a Russell Group university and a leading international research institution with world-class facilities. The PhD student will become part of QMUL’s Department of Chemistry and Doctoral College, which provides training, development opportunities, funding advice, and financial support for research. Students have access to a comprehensive Researcher Development Programme designed to build key skills for managing research and planning future careers.
