Description of Group/Project: The Advanced Electronic Materials and Devices (AEMD) group focuses on the material sciences and technology aspects of novel electronic materials, with a strong emphasis on graphene as well as other 2D materials (MoS2). The group also works towards the development of technological applications based on these materials such as electronics, bioelectronics and biosensing, neural interfaces, etc. The activities cut across different scientific aspects, from the fundamentals (the physics of devices and semiconductors) to materials (growth of graphene and MoS2 materials by CVD and MOCVD, surface functionalisation, advanced characterisation), through to devices (fabrication technology, nanofabrication) and applications (neural implants and biomedical technologies, biosensors, flexible electronics). Main Tasks and responsibilities: The candidate will be working in a very multidisciplinary project that covers topics such as materials science of graphene and other 2D materials, thin film technologies for neural interfaces, as well as in-vivo device validation of the neural technologies. The main role of the candidate will be the design, fabrication, and characterization of multiplexed arrays of graphene transistors for monitoring brain activity. The research activity of the candidate will be funded by the European Union, through 'Graphene Transistors for High-Density Brain-Computer Interfaces' Project with reference number 101136541 Requirements: • Education: PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Materials Science, Nanotechnology, Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or equivalent degrees. • Knowledge and Professional Experience: Science and technology of neural interfaces and implantable devices Thin-film technology and device microfabrication, flexible electronics 2D materials and technology Electrochemistry Experience in microscopic and spectroscopic characterization techniques (Raman, PL, AFM, SEM, TEM and XPS) Neuroscience, electrophysiology • Personal Competences: Teamwork skills, Fluent English (both spoken and written) Summary of conditions: • Full time work (37,5h/week) • Contract Length: Temporary • Location: Bellaterra (Barcelona) • Salary will depend on qualifications and demonstrated experience. • Support to the relocation issues. • Life Insurance.
