Research Fellow in Organic Optoelectronics - AR2669SB

Start: 1 February 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter, Fixed term for 12 months in the first instance

Multi-resonant thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) materials are new and increasingly important materials for next generation organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and their applications in displays. The Organic Semiconductor Centre is internationally recognised for its research on organic optoelectronics and provides excellent facilities for its study. The aim of this post is to develop new MR-TADF materials and OLED devices. The candidate will be responsible for modeling, synthesizing and characterizing the emitters, including solution-state photophysics. They will work with a physics PDRA who will be responsible for solid-state photophysical studies of the emitters and fabricating and testing OLEDs.

This appointment is for a 1-year period, with the possibility of extension for up to a further 1.5 years. 

Applications are particularly welcome from women, people from the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) community, and other protected characteristics who are under-represented in research posts at the University.  

Equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of the St Andrews experience.
