Intern for the CARE‐C Instrumentation for Nanoparticle Synthesis and Characterization (INL) (ref....

The Cyprus Institute (CyI) is a European Non-profit Science and Technology oriented Educational and Research Institution based in Cyprus and led by an acclaimed Board of Trustees. The research agenda of the CyI is pursued at its four Research Centres: The Computation-based Science and Technology Research Centre (CaSToRC), the Science and Technology in Archaeology and Culture Research Centre (STARC), the Energy Environment Water Research Centre (EEWRC) and the Climate and Atmosphere Research Centre (CARE-C). Considerable cross-centre interaction is a characteristic of the Institute’s culture.

The CyI invites applications for Intern who will have the opportunity to gain hands‐on experience through contributing to the activities of the Instrumentation for Nanoparticle and Nanomaterials Synthesis and Characterisation Laboratory (INL).

The successful candidate will assist senior and junior researchers in the development of novel environmental instrumentation and sensing technologies, running from advanced instruments for the characterization of aerosol particles to sensors employing novel and highly tuneable nanomaterials that can be generated in our lab. The successful candidate will work with state‐of‐the‐art instruments for nanoparticle/nanomaterial synthesis and characterization, and in the analysis of the respective collected data.

The position will be on a full‐time basis for a fixed term of six months, renewable depending on performance and availability of funds. After the completion of the internship, the candidate will have the opportunity to enrol to a PhD project depending on the interest of the candidate. The successful candidate will be under the supervision of the Head of the INL of CARE‐C.
