Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) offers a fellowship program, the CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor.

The scholarship applicant must meet the following conditions on the date of application:

• • be no more than 7 years since obtaining the first Ph.D. degree,
• • Ph.D. studies at a university outside the Czech Republic or have completed at least a one-year working research stay abroad (outside the Czech Republic),
• • be an author (co-author) of three or more publications in a journal with IF or CORE A*/A conference paper.

Insight into energy band profiles, band edges, band alignment, and distribution of defect states is crucial for understanding and enhancing the performance of semiconductor nanomaterials across diverse applications in optoelectronics, spintronics, energy conversion, photocatalysis as well as biosensor technologies. Yet experimental characterization of these features and corroboration with theoretical calculations remain challenging. This project aims to integrate energy-resolved electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EREIS) with DFT atomistic simulations to investigate the electronic structure and defect states in wide bandgap semiconductor nanomaterials. The goal is to better understand and optimize function of such nanomaterials, their surfaces and interfaces for prospective topical applications. The work will be supported by complementary spectroscopic and microscopic techniques available in the group and aims to enhance the group expertise, international collaborations, and overall research quality and impact.

Skills/Qualifications

Successful candidates must have a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering or closely related disciplines. Prior publication track record in impacted journals with at least 3 papers as the first author and very good command of spoken and written English are mandatory. Good communication skills, initiative and team work are demanded. Prior professional experience abroad from a home country is advantageous. EU citizenship or Schengen visa is also advantageous.
