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 successful candidate will give support to the research team in the following topics: i) growth of MoS2 by metal-organic vapor deposition (MOCVD), ii) structural, optical and electrical characterization of MoS2 films, iii) development of other 2D materials and iv) integration in thin film technology.The tasks will also involve the maintenance of MOCVD reactors as well as the implementation of upgrades in these reactors.The research activity of the candidate will be part of the NEURO2FAB project (PDC2023-145866-I00) financiado por MCIU/AEI /10.13039/501100011033 y por la Unión Europea NextGenerationEU/ PRTR. The main objective of the NEURO2FAB project is to demonstrate a pre-industrial prototype of a hybrid graphene/MoS2 sensor array based on 2D materials and thin-film technology. Such an array is expected to be at the core of the next generation of braincomputer interfaces (BCIs) which will be used for the monitoring and treatment of neurological disorders.Requirements:• Education: PhD in Materials Science, Nanotechnology, Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, or equivalent degrees.• Knowledge and Professional Experience:Extensive experience in MOCVD of TMDs.Experience in characterization of bidimensional materials, including XPS, Raman, SEM, AFM and XRDExperience with micro/nanofabrication.• Personal Competences:Teamwork skillsFluent English (both spoken and written)Summary of conditions:• Full time work (37,5h/week)• Contract Length: Temporary (2 years)• Location: Bellaterra (Barcelona)• Salary will depend on qualifications and demonstrated experience.• Support to the relocation issues.• Life Insurance.Estimated Incorporation date: as soon as possibleHow to apply:All applications must be made via the ICN2 website https://jobs.icn2.cat/job-openings/614/postdoctoral-researcher-advanced-electronic-materials-and-devices and include the following:1.
