Horizon Europe - ERCIs the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? NoOffer Description 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 researcher's main role will be the development of energy autonomous neural interfaces. The researcher will be in charge of the microfabrication of energy harvesting devices based on triboelectricity (TENGs) and their characterization under different working conditions. Specifically, the researcher will focus on (1) development of clean room protocols for TENG fabrication, (2) morphological and electrical characterization of devices, (3) TENG coupling with neural interfaces study.The research activity of the candidate will be framed within the project ERC-CoG TRIBOMED (G.A. 101125401) that aims to design and produce novel energy harvesting devices for the development of self-driven neural interfaces.Minimum Requirements:Education: PhD in Energy, Electrochemistry, Materials Science, Nanotechnology, or equivalent degrees.Knowledge and Professional Experience:Experience in energy harvesting and electronic engineering.Experience with micro/nanofabrication.Experience with characterization tools (Raman, CQMB, AFM, etc.).Experience in programming (LabView, Python, C++, Matlab).Personal Competences:Teamwork skills.Fluent English (both spoken and written).Salary will depend on qualifications and demonstrated experience.Support to the relocation issues.Life Insurance.Estimated Incorporation date: as soon as possible.2 Reference letters or referee contacts are required.Applications will be continuously reviewed.Additional Comments Equal Opportunities:ICN2 is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion of people with disabilities
