RMIT University invites applications for the RMIT CSIRO Masters Solution Processed Hole Transport Layers Scholarship for the 2023/24 academic session.
In this project, an RMIT student with a materials science or chemistry background will explore hole-transport materials by using CSIRO’s unique 3D printer-based solar coater. Various commercially available materials (metal oxide nano particles, organic-inorganic hybrid materials), as well as in-house materials, will be used with state-of-the-art OPV materials. Energy level mismatching and charge-collection efficiency will be characterized to find the best material combinations for vacuum-free OPV fabrication. The student will gain experience in thin-film fabrication and characterization, as well as knowledge in PV technologies.
Worth of Award
This CSIRO-RMIT co-funded scholarship provides a stipend of $32,841 per annum (pro-rata) for two years and successful applicants will also be awarded a Tuition Fee Scholarship.

To be eligible for this scholarship you must:
- Have a first-class Honours or 2A Honours or equivalent degree in a relevant discipline of engineering/science
- be an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or an international student meeting the minimum English language requirements
- provide evidence of adequate oral and written communication skills
- demonstrate the ability to work as part of a multi-disciplinary research team
