The Photovoltaic Materials and Devices (PVMD) group at TU Delft invites outstanding researchers to jointly apply for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA PF 2026;, 17:00 Brussels time).

The selected fellow will work under the joint supervision of Dr. Luana Mazzarella and Dr. Paul Procel on the development of vacuum-deposited perovskite-based visible-light thin-film LEDs
.

The project will leverage the advanced infrastructure of the Else Kooi Laboratory (EKL) cleanroom
, including:

• State-of-the-art vacuum-based thin-film deposition systems (thermal evaporation and hybrid approaches)
• Controlled-atmosphere glovebox facilities
• Full optoelectronic material and device characterization platforms

The research will focus on:

• Controlled vacuum deposition of perovskites for bandgap modulation
• Structure–function relationships in emissive thin films
• Device-level spectroscopic investigation of performance and degradation

The PVMD group provides a multidisciplinary environment at the interface of thin-film materials science, optoelectronic device physics, and scalable fabrication.

We seek an ambitious postdoctoral researcher with:

• PhD in materials science, physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, or related field
• Demonstrated hands‑on experience in LED device fabrication and characterization (PeLED and/or OLED)
• Experience with thin-film processing techniques

• Experience with perovskite emitters or organic semiconductors
• Knowledge of device physics, charge transport, and recombination mechanisms
• Familiarity with vacuum-based deposition methods

Given the scope of the project,
prior experience with light‑emitting device architectures is essential to ensure complementarity between the fellow’s expertise and the host group’s strengths in vacuum deposition and thin-film engineering.

We are particularly interested in candidates capable of integrating device physics with materials design to build a competitive and scientifically ambitious MSCA proposal.
