Research assistant

Project title: Magnetic nanoparticles for energy harvesting

Position description: The Nanoparticles & Nanocomposites (N&N) group at The Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC) is seeking for a motivated candidate to join the THERMGY project to develop novel magnetic energy harvesting nanocomposites. The candidate will focus in the study and design of novel devices for magnetic energy harvesting. The final goal is to produce a contact-less charging system for pace-makers. The research project will be carried out at the N&N group under the supervision of Dr. Pablo Guardia. The candidate will have access to cutting-edge research facilities surrounded by an international environment.

Job offer: We offer a 6-month contract with the chance to extend it further.

Application: Interested candidates are welcome to submit their CV along with a brief description of their scientific interests to the project leader Dr. Pablo Guardia ([email protected] ).

About the Institution: The N&N Group’s research is mainly focused in the rational synthesis of nanoparticles and nanocomposites and the study of their structural-functional properties including those related to the nano/bio interfaces. The group vision is to see our materials impacting in Nanomedicine, Information Technologies or Energy and Environment. The Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC) is a multidisciplinary research center focused on cutting-edge research in functional advanced materials in the fields of ENERGY, ELECTRONICS, NANOMEDICINE and application fields yet to imagine. We are located at the Universiat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) campus, surrounded by other research and technological centers and with access to many state-of-the art equipment and scientific facilities.
