PhD Scholarship: Towards the Direct Deposition of Printed Solar Cells
A Next-Generation Building-Integrated Photovoltaic Technology Initiative
This project is part of the CSIRO's Industry PhD (iPhD) Program, a collaboration between an industry partner, Monash University, and CSIRO to co-develop a four-year industry-focussed PhD project.
The Opportunity
As a successful candidate, you will receive a four-year scholarship package of $47,000 annually. To be eligible, you must be an Australian or New Zealand citizen or Australian permanent resident, meet participating university PhD admission requirements, and possess valid and current Australian work rights.
Candidate Requirements
* Demonstrate valid and current Australian work rights.
* Meet participating university PhD admission requirements.
* Meet university English language requirements.
* Not have previously completed a PhD.
* Be prepared to be located at the project location(s) approved by the host university.
Project Overview
This project aims to develop semi-transparent electrodes for integration of solar cells into building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) products, such as glazing, roofing, and cladding. The expected outcome is the development of new materials and processes for low-cost semi-transparent electrodes.
Benefits
The potential benefit of this project is to generate sovereign manufacturing opportunities in the energy technology sector.
