Join Us

Come and join a dynamic team with diverse interests and skills at NUPV.

To tackle the wide variety of challenges that are on the path to a future Net Zero requires an equally varied team. Here at NUPV we believe in finding the right people to tackle these challenges. We are always looking for enthusiastic researchers to join our team and as such we are happy to support fellowship applications on a variety of themes based around photovoltaics and energy materials.
