Post-doctoral position in ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences, Spain

Designation/Position- Post-doctoral position – 2019

ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences, Barcelona, Spain  invites application for Post-doctoral position – 2019 from eligible and interested candidates 

About- ICFO is offering a postdoctoral position to a well-qualified, highly motivated and dynamic young scientist who wishes to enhance his/her scientific career in a friendly and stimulating environment.

Research/Job Area- Material Science, Physics or Electrical Engineering

Location- ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences, Barcelona, Spain

Eligibility/Qualification–

Candidates must hold an internationally-recognized Ph.D.-equivalent degree (or evidence of its completion in the nearest future) in Material Science, Physics or Electrical Engineering, prior to taking up the position.

The candidate should have demonstrated experience and hands-on expertise on the fabrication and characterization of photodetectors, ideally in the infrared and most preferably in the mid and long wave infrared.

The fellow should have strong background on the physics (intraband and intersubband) of nanostructured materials and devices and be familiar in the preparation of setups for the optical and electronic characterization of devices.

Knowledge and experience in charge transport studies, low noise techniques and/or optical instrumentation in the mid and long wave infrared would be considered a plus.

Direct demonstrated expertise of the afore-mentioned features in the field of colloidal quantum dot optoelectronics, albeit not required, will be positively evaluated.

Job/Position Description- 

The Functional Optoelectronic NanoMaterials group at ICFO, led by ICREA Prof. Gerasimos Konstantatos, is looking for an outstanding, creative and highly motivated researcher to develop highly sensitive, CMOS compatible, infrared colloidal quantum dot photodetectors.

The project is focused on optical detection in the mid and long wave infrared employing colloidal quantum dot films engineered at the atomic as well as at the supra-nanocrystalline level.

The position is available for 3 years renewable on an annual basis depending on the performance of the incumbent and the progress of the project.

Salary will be commensurate with the experience of the candidates.

How to Apply- 

Suitable candidates are requested to submit:

• A Cover/Presentation letter with a declaration of interest outlining past research achievements and a description of future research aspirations,
• A Curriculum Vitae with research publications, as well as your contact details,
• The contact e-mail of two potential referees, who will be contacted for their reference letters if necessary.

Last Date for Apply– 31 December, 2019
