The candidate will the working under the framework of the European Project: High-Efficiency Perovskites on Flexible Substrates for Sustainable Applications (HEPAFLEX)
HEPAFLEX proposes a new approach based on HaP, a technology that can: a) improve the current high-power photovoltaic (PV) supply systems implementing circular economy principles, and b) adapt the energy generation to specific non-utility scale areas unfeasible for conventional photovoltaics technologies. HaP photovoltaics technology currently faces fundamental challenges that have to be met for its tangible impact on the final applications, with performance and stability being critical limiting parameters. HEPAFLEX will make HaP PV sustainable by developing high photoconversion efficiency (PCE) devices with green fabrication methods and a circular economy approach, expanding their effective HaP PV cell lifespan to > 25 years.
The PhD student will develop analysis work on life cycle assessment of the new materials and process developed in HEPAFLEX. This work will allow the PhD student to defend a Doctoral Thesis at the end of her/his contract. Experience with life cycle assessment (LCA) or other environmental assessment methodologies applied to materials and industrial processes will be important.
Skills/Qualifications:
Studies in Industrial Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electronic Enigneering, Chemical Engineering or Chemistry field that qualifies him/her to pursue doctoral studies.
Specific Requirements:
Knowledge and/or experience in life cycle analysis applied to materials and industrial processes will be valued as preferential merits.
Additional Information
The candidate shall be appointed with a full-time employment contract for periods of one year, renewable for a total of up to the end of the project, according to the Spanish legislation and covered under the Spanish social security scheme.
The candidate will course PhD studies in the Technology and Materials Program of the University Jaume I.
The Director of the Thesis and Responsible of this predoctoral position: Rosario Vidal (vidal@uji.es). Dept. of Mechanical Engineering and Construction.
