Current Openings

PhD Studentships:

We would like to advertise several funded PhD student positions for entry in October 2025. There are a number of different positions and we are looking for students interested in the following areas:

  1. Experimental characterisation of the charge transport and thermoelectric physics of doped conjugated polymers and other soft functional materials.
  2. Charge transport and device physics of organic and perovskite field-effect transistors.
  3. Scanning probe characterisation of soft functional materials.

Interested students should contact Professor Henning Sirringhaus by email for further information:

Nernst Effect Paper Published in Nature Communications

11 February 2025

Our paper Observation of Anomalously Large Nernst Effects in Conducting Polymers has now been published in Nature Communications ! While the Nernst effect is well-documented in inorganic semiconductors and metals, this phenomenon is typically negligible in polymers with lower structural order and an inherently low mobility...
