Descrizione

Predoctoral researcher - Advanced Electronic Materials and Devices Group Sintesi in italiano (traduzione automatica): L'ICN2, un centro di ricerca di eccellenza nel campo della nanoscienza e nanotecnologia, cerca un ricercatore pre-dottorato per il gruppo Advanced Electronic Materials and Devices. La sede è in Spagna. Il candidato si occuperà di simulazioni agli elementi finiti per progettare materiali e dispositivi innovativi per interfacce neurali autonome a energia. Le mansioni principali includono l'identificazione della composizione e morfologia dei materiali, la progettazione dei dispositivi e l'integrazione dei materiali per migliorare le prestazioni energetiche. È richiesta una laurea in ingegneria dei materiali o un campo correlato, e competenze in simulazioni COMSOL. Il progetto è in collaborazione con l'ERC-CoG TRIBOMED. As a flagship research center in nanoscience and nanotechnology, our mission is to open and explore new frontiers of knowledge at the nanoscale, and bring value to society in the form of new understanding, capabilities and innovation, while inspiring and providing broad training to the next generations of researchers. Our values are Commitment, Collaboration and Transformation. Our research lines focus on the newly-discovered physical and chemical properties that arise from the behaviour of matter at the nanoscale. ICN2 has been awarded with the Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence distinction for three consecutive periods (2014-2018 and 2018-2022 and 2023-2026). ICN2 comprises 20 Research Groups, 7 Technical Development and Support Units and Facilities, and 2 Research Platforms, covering different areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Job Title: Predoctoral researcher Department: Advanced Electronic Materials and Devices Group 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 researcher will contribute to the team ultimate objective of developing of energy autonomous neural interfaces. The researcher will be in charge of the finite elements simulations to predict and design novel materials and device designs for energy harvesting based on triboelectricity. Specifically, the researcher will focus on performing COMSOL simulations for the (1) identification of materials composition and morphology, (2) device design in terms of dimensions and integrating materials, all leading to boost the device performance in terms of energy generation. 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.
