Job Title: Research assistant Department: Advanced Electronic Materials And Devices

About the Institute

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 2 ICN2 comprises 20 Research Groups, 7 Technical Development and Support Units and Facilities, and 2 Research Platforms, covering different areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology.

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 the development of large scale flexible graphene based technology. The researcher will be in charge of growing the material and characterize them additionaly to the development of novel protection strategies to keep the materials quality along the fabrication proccess. Apart form the graphene material, the researcher will investigate the development and integration of other thin film materials, such as metals and dielectrics. Specifically, the researcher will focus on (1) graphene growth and transfer to transparent flexible substrates (2) thin film technology development and (3) advanced morphological and electrical characterization. The research activity of the candidate will be funded by the European Union, through ' Project Graphene-based Artificial Iris for Active light management in a smart contact lens" with reference number 1 The ultimate goal of the GAIA project is to develop medical optical systems with ultra-low power consumption, and unprecedented transparency and flexibility by the combination of the artificial iris management technology based on liquid crystal cells with the graphene microfabrication technology.

Requirements

Education: o Master in Materials Science, Nanotechnology, or equivalent degrees Knowledge and professional Experience: o Experience in 2D materials synthesis and thin film technology o Experience in clean room micro/nanofabrication o Experience with characterization tools (Raman, CQMB, AFM, etc.) o Experience in programming (LabView, Python, C++, Matlab) Personal Competences: o Teamwork skills o Fluent English both spoken and written

Summary of Conditions

Full time work (37,5h/week) Contract Length: until 28/02/2027 Location: Bellaterra (Barcelona) Salary will depend on qualifications and demonstrated experience. Support to the relocation issues. Life Insurance. Estimated Incorporation date: 16/10/2026
