Job Title: Research Engineer

Research area or group: Advanced Electronic Materials and Devices

Description of Group/Project:

Advanced Electronic Materials and Devices 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 2D materials by CVD and MOCVD, surface functionalisation, advanced characterisation), through to devices (fabrication technology, nanofabrication) and applications (biosensors, neural implants and biomedical technologies, energy storage and conversion).

Main Tasks and responsibilities:

The research activity of the candidate will be part of the i-VISION project (funded by La Caixa Foundation). This project is developing graphene-based neural technologies to interface with the retina. The candidate will be involved in activities related to the design, fabrication, and assessment of several components of neural interface technologies. In particular, the candidate will focus on the integration of thinned ASIC chips into thin-film flexible circuitry, working in cleanroom environment.

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.

Requirements:

• Education:

MSc, PhD in Materials Science, Nanotechnology, Engineering, Physics, or equivalent degrees.

• Knowledge and Professional Experience:

Very extensive cleanroom experience in thin-film technology and device fabrication, flexible electronics

Science and technology of neural interfaces and implantable devices

2D materials and technology

• Personal competences:

Teamwork skills, Fluent English (both spoken and written), hands-on.

Summary of conditions:

• Full time work (37,5h/week)
• Contract Length: Temporary (1 year)
• Location: Bellaterra (Barcelona)
• Salary will depend on qualifications and demonstrated experience.
• Support to the relocation issues.
• Life Insurance.
