Zurich University of Applied Sciences ZHAW is one of Switzerland's largest multidisciplinary universities of applied sciences, with over 14'000 students and 3'400 faculty and staff. As part of the Organic Electronics and Photovoltaics section at the Institute of Computational Physics (ICP) we investigate the physics of solar cells and further optoelectronic devices using innovative characterization and modelling approaches. We perform cutting-edge fundamental and applied research in a young team of motivated scientists. Based on a dual affiliation, the PhD degree will be awarded in physics in collaboration with the Faculty of Science at the University of Zurich. ZHAW is committed to gender-mixed and diverse teams in order to promote equality, diversity and innovation.
