Research and development within solar energy is more and more important at the Institute, with main focus on development of  new technology and materials for producing crystalline silicon solar cells. The Department of Solar Energy is a young end expanding department and has recently moved into a brand new solar cell technology laboratory. This laboratory contains state of the art equipment for both processing and characterisation of solar cells and solar energy materials.

In order to perform all the work tasks within national and international R&D projects, the Institute plans to expand the staff with 10 new employees within solar energy. We look for scientists, Post Doc and PhD candidates, and also 2 technicians/engineers.

One of IFE's solar energy researchers is presenting IFE in an informal interview: A place in the sun.

Are you one of IFE's new employees?

Closing date for applications was 15. January 2010.
