Catalonia institute for energy research
Barcelona, Spain
Description
The Functional Nanomaterials Group in the Advanced Materials for Energy Area of IREC announces a Pre-doctoral Research Position available for a highly motivated candidate to work in the FP7 UNION Project. UNION project proposes the development of nanoparticles assembly techniques, and assembly monitoring technologies to prepare novel hierarchically-ordered nanoparticles clusters (NPs). In particular, the project will investigate how emergent properties of the assemblies are determined by the architecture of the assembly, the extent of order, and the properties of the component NPs. This will enable tuning of the primary NP properties and the assembly processes to develop significant breakthroughs in nano-devices and next generation complex nanotechnology products. The candidate will carry out a multidisciplinary activity with the final aim of produce nanocomposites from bottom-up approaches and test their functionality. In particular, at IREC, we will develop new nanomaterials building block for thermoelectric energy harversting.
Requirements
Candidate must have a Bachellor degree in Chemistry, Physics, Material Science or equivalent. Previous experience in the production, assembly, manipulation, characterization and use of colloidal nanoparticles will be valuable for the position.
