Offer Description
Project: REshaping Photocatalysis via Light-Matter hYbridization in Plasmonic Nanocavities, Grant Agreement n.101002422 (H2020 ERC-2020-COG)
Commitment & contract: Collaboration Contract (12 months)
Location: Center for Convergent Technologies, Genova
WHO WE ARE
At IIT we work enthusiastically to develop human-centered Science and Technology to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of our times and transfer these technologies to the production system and society. Our Genoa headquarters are strictly inter-connected with the other 11 centers around Italy and two outstations based in the US for a truly interdisciplinary experience.
YOUR TEAM
You will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where experienced physicists, chemists, material scientists, and optical spectroscopists collaborate, each with their own expertise, to carry out common research.
The Clean Room Facility is coordinated by Dr. Andrea Toma, who has extensive experience in the nanofabrication and nanophotonic domains. The research will aim at the photophysical assessment (via steady-state and ultrafast spectroscopies) of novel hybrid systems with unique chemical and physical properties.
Within the team, your main responsibilities will be:
- Optical characterization of hybrid nanophotonic devices, with the aim of exploring light-matter interaction in the strong coupling regime.
- Photocarrier dynamics investigation via Ultrafast Transient Absorption Spectroscopy.
This open position/research is financed by the European Research Council within the project REPLY - REshaping Photocatalysis via Light-Matter hYbridization in Plasmonic Nanocavities.
WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU SHINE
- A PhD in physics, material science or related disciplines.
- Documented hands-on experience in ultrafast optics and spectroscopy with specific competences on femtosecond lasers and pulse shaping/spectral focusing.
- Proficiency in the analysis and interpretation of ultrafast (femtosecond) spectroscopy data.
- A strong publication record.
- The ability to properly report, organize and publish research data.
- Documented experience in coaching junior scientists.
- Good command in spoken and written English.
EXTRA AWESOME
- Complementary skills in nanofabrication.
- Knowledge of software packages for designing, analyzing and optimizing nanophotonic systems (e.g. Comsol Multiphysics, CST Studio Suite)
- Good communication skills
- Strong problem solving attitude
- High motivation to learn
- Spirit of innovation and creativity
- Good in time and priority management
- Ability to work in a challenging and international environment
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary environment
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
- Competitive salary package for international standards
