The Plasmon Nanotechnologies Research Line at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) is looking for a highly motivated candidate with a strong background in the field of Nano-Photonics, nanostructured metamaterials, optical nano-sensors and electronic devices.
The appointed post doc will be in charge of designing novel devices, materials and systems for electrophysiological studies of human tissues.
Post Doc in ISTITUTO ITALIANO DI TECNOLOGIA (IIT)
The candidate to this position will work, as part of a multi-disciplinary team, on a challenging project in the field of nano-photonics and opto-electronic devices for biosensors with extreme sensitivity. The work aims to develop new hybrid biointerfaces (namely the interface between nanostructured devices and living neural tissues) and next-generation bio-sensing with particular focus on plasmonic sensors. Access to state-of-the-art micro- and nanofabrication facilities and biological facilities.
Requirements for Postdoc in Nano-Photonics
The candidate must have a Ph.D. in Physics, Engineering, or related field; strong experience in top-down fabrication approaches and clean room technologies (optical and electron beam lithography, deposition of metals and dielectrics, RIE, focused ion beam, ALD, imprinting).
Experience in microfluidics and nanofluidics, bottom-up fabrication methods (bead lithography, galvanic deposition, solution based technologies), experimental optics and/or electronics will be considered a plus. Excellent presentation and writing ability together with publication of original scientific work in high-quality journals will be highly valued.
IIT offer a post-doctoral position in Genoa with competitive annual remuneration depending on candidate’s experience.
