The School of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at NTU is seeking a highly skilled and motivated postdoctoral researcher or recent PhD graduate to join our team. The successful candidate will lead research on next-generation solar harvesting materials , focusing on developing and optimizing synthesis methods for novel inorganic nanoparticles and quantum dots designed for solar-to-energy conversion , including photovoltaics and solar fuel generation . A strong background in inorganic synthesis , materials science, and materials physics is essential. The candidate will work collaboratively across disciplines to advance renewable energy technologies and support NTU’s mission for sustainable global impact.
Job Responsibilities

  • Develop and implement advanced chemical synthesis techniques such as hot-injection, colloidal synthesis, solvothermal, hydrothermal, and sol-gel methods to create novel inorganic nanoparticles and quantum dots.
  • Conduct systematic experimental studies to tune the optical, electronic, and structural properties of materials for solar cells and photoelectrochemical systems.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to integrate new photoabsorbers into optoelectronic and energy conversion devices.
  • Perform advanced characterization of materials using XRD, SEM, TEM, UV-Vis spectroscopy, EQE, PL, and related techniques.
  • Supervise and mentor junior research staff and students.
  • Maintain comprehensive documentation of research progress and contribute actively to scientific publications and reports.
  • Support and drive collaborative research initiatives across departments and institutions.
Key Requirements
  • Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry, materials science, or a closely related field, with a minimum of 4–5 years of relevant research experience (including Ph.D. study period).
  • Proven expertise in chemical synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles or quantum dots, particularly chalcogenide and halide semiconductors (preferred).
  • Strong hands-on experience with synthesis methods such as colloidal synthesis, hot-injection techniques, solvothermal/hydrothermal growth, and sol-gel processes.
  • Expertise in semiconductor material characterization (XRD, SEM, TEM, EQE, PL, UV-Vis spectroscopy).
  • Knowledge and experience in solar energy conversion devices, including photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical systems, is advantageous.
  • Strong research track record evidenced by publications, patents, or grants.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills; ability to work independently and in diverse, interdisciplinary teams.
  • Demonstrated initiative, problem-solving skills, and the ability to manage independent research projects.
We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
