The mission of the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) is to achieve the highest level of scientific and technological excellence in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. Its 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 2023-2026). ICN2 comprises 19 Research Groups, 7 Technical Development and Support Units and Facilities, and 2 Research Platforms, covering different areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Job Title: Specialist Technician
Research area or group: Atomic Manipulation and Spectroscopy Group
Description of Group/Project:
This project is part of the activities to be held within the In-CAEM subproject, as part of the Advanced Materials program of the Planes Complementarios de I+D+I of the Plan de Recuperación, Transformación y Resiliencia. The main activity consist on the installation, set-up and supervision of a scanning probe microscope (SPM) that operates in ultra-high vacuum and cryogenic conditions and combines SPM techniques with tip-enhanced photon spectroscopies such as Raman and luminiscence, called Photon-SPM hereafter.
Main Tasks and responsibilities:
Set-up of the optical spectroscopy equipment of the UHV Photon SPM. This includes lasers, spectrometers, detectors, time resolved measurements. The candidate will centralize the control and communication of the different components and synchronize it with SPM operation.
Requirements:
• Education: Bachelor level background in physics, nanoscience or engineering
• Knowledge: Background in programming in Python (preferably also in any of the following ones: Labview, Matlab, C++, Igor Pro), preferably also in optical spectroscopies, experimental physics, and instrumentation.
• Professional Experience: Automatization, control software.
• Personal Competences: Good skills in programming for equipment control, data acquisition and analysis.
Proficiency in English and demonstrated skills in oral and written communication.
Summary of conditions:
• Full time work (37,5h/week)
• Contract Length: Temporary (12-24 months)
• Location: Bellaterra (Barcelona)
• Salary will depend on qualifications and demonstrated experience.
• Support to the relocation issues.
• Life Insurance.
Estimated Incorporation date: as soon as possible
