PhD scholarships within computational discovery of organic ferroelectric materials at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences

The Faculty of Science and Technology at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) has two vacant three-year PhD–positions related to computational discovery of organic ferroelectric materials.

Ferroelectric materials are materials which host a switchable internal electronic polarization. This property makes them important for many technologies, such as non-volatile computer memory and sensors. An issue, however, with conventional ferroelectric materials is that they have high processing costs and often consist of toxic elements.

All-organic ferroelectrics stand out as a cheap environmentally friendly alternative and could also fill new niches such as in flexible electronics.
