Postdoctoral Fellowship — Surface Engineering of Photoanodes for Green Hydrogen

A FAPESP-funded postdoctoral research position at the São Carlos Institute of Physics, University of São Paulo, investigates BiVO4 and Fe2TiO5 semiconductor photoanodes for photoelectrochemical water splitting in the CEMol project. Work includes magnetron-sputtered thin films, doping, grain-boundary engineering, structural/optical/electronic characterization and photoelectrochemical testing. One fellowship is advertised at BRL 12,570 per month, with a January 2027 start.

The notice requests a motivation letter of up to two pages and a CV including a Lattes link, following the investigator’s application instructions.

PhD in physics, chemistry, materials engineering or a related field; semiconductor-material characterization and electrochemical-measurement experience; English proficiency and teamwork.
