CSIRO Engineering Fellowship in Photovoltaics

• Are you an early career researcher looking to jumpstart your career with a background in physics or electrical engineering?
• Do you have experience measuring the performance of solar PV cells or modules?
• Join CSIRO and conduct innovative research with a leading research organisation!

CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work experience. These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.

The CERC Fellow will play a critical role in the operation and growth of CSIRO’s Solar PV Performance Laboratory. They will share responsibility for procurement, commissioning and operation of three new facilities for solar photovoltaics testing at the Newcastle site. Working in a team of scientists, they will use these facilities for R&D associated with new thin-film solar PV technologies, including perovskite and organic solar cells. The research will likely include developing new approaches to reliable measurement of performance for these devices.
