PhD Scholarship: Designing stable perovskite materials for extreme environments

We are currently looking for a PhD candidate to support a recently awarded research project funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) under the ARC Future Fellowship scheme. There is a special interest in fundamental research of materials for extreme environments. The project aims to develop holistic engineering strategies to design robust metal halide perovskite materials for extreme environments. This project includes materials preparation and characterisation, device fabrication (detectors and solar cells), research paper publications, conference attendance, overseas research travel and collaborations. Success in this role requires collaborations with leading researchers from both domestic and international organisations.

The successful candidate will be primarily based at Griffith University, Brisbane South (Nathan). As Griffith is a multi-site University you may be required to work across other locations. The candidate will be working with Dr Munkhbayar Batmunkh and his research team (https://batmunkh-lab.com/) with significant expertise in materials science, nanotechnology and optoelectronics.
