Open PhD Position in the European Marie-Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network
The European Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network FADOS brings together 11 academic institutions,
including universities and research centers, and 3 companies, from 6 EU countries. The network is supported by 5 more
partners, including 2 companies. The mission of the FADOS network is to use the large expertise on all aspects of doping of
organic semiconductors that is available in the EU for (a) the strategic training of excellent young researchers in an
emerging, interdisciplinary field and (b) the rational development of prototype devices involving doping strategies, inspired
by actual market demand.
This will happen by giving 17 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) exposure to a wide spectrum of expertise. In FADOS, we fuse
the synthetic organic expertise with the expertise in processing and characterization to provide stable, high-performance
materials and recipes for upscaling and device fabrication. Constant interaction at all stages with theory and multiscale
modelling will guide the process. Crucial for the success the Programme is a multidisciplinary and inter-sectorial network,
which will allow the ESR to genuinely discover and/or feed her/his attitude while having an impact on a relevant scientific
and technological field. FADOS also has the mission of disseminating its scientific and technological achievements to a broad
audience (scientific community, stakeholders, general public etc.).
During the programme, exchange between private sector and academia is promoted by at least one secondment per ESR
with the industrial partners and beneficiaries.
We are looking for one Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) to be appointed at the Institute Charles Sadron (Université de
Strasbourg, CNRS) within FADOS.
