Research fellowship for PhD students (BI)

Are you passionate about research? So are we! Come and join us

The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) is a Research and Technology Organization (RTO) active in the fields of materials, environment and IT. By transforming scientific knowledge into technologies, smart data and tools, LIST empowers citizens in their choices, public authorities in their decisions and businesses in their strategies.

You ‘d like to contribute as an intern? Join our Materials Research and Technology department 

Through its research into advanced materials and processes, the “Materials Research and Technology” (MRT) department, with its 200 researchers and engineers, contributes to the emergence of enabling technologies that underpin the innovation processes of local and international industry. MRT’s activities hinge on four thematic pillars: nanomaterials and nanotechnology, scientific instrumentation and process technology, structural composites, and functional polymers.

The department also includes four high-tech platforms, focusing on composites, prototyping, characterization and testing. These platforms serve both LIST research staff, and other stakeholders in Luxembourg.

How will you contribute?

The internship student will be challenged against the fabrication of hydrogel coatings by the state-of-the-art plasma technology working at atmospheric pressure available at LIST. The student will carry out the synthesis and deposition of the hydrogel materials and will participate in their physicochemical characterization by standard and advanced techniques. The properties of the materials will be evaluated as stimulus-responsive nanocoatings for drug delivery.

The internship student will work in an international and multidisciplinary team of polymer scientists, plasma physicists and process engineers. Regular technical reporting (in English) and a final report will be requested.
