Post-Doctoral position on the synthesis of Indium arsenide colloidal quantum dots for electroluminescent devicesLocation: Genoa
Salary: EUR 30.000 - 50.000
Commitment & contract: Collaboration contract
THE ROLE The Photonic Nanomaterials research unit is looking for one Post-doctoral scientist to develop and study novel Indium arsenide (InAs) colloidal quantum dots presenting emission in the near infrared (800 – 1550 nm). The successful candidate will work in the framework of the European Innovation Council Pathfinder Challenges project "RADIANT" (Chiral Light Emitting Diodes based in Photonic Architectures, grant Agreement n. 101162112). The aim of the project is to synthesize highly emissive InAs quantum dots and employ them in innovative electroluminescent devices promoting circularly polarized emission.
The selected candidate will focus on the synthesis of highly emissive InAs quantum dots based on core-shell architecture (e.g. InAs/ZnSe or similar) and then characterize their emission both in solution and in solid films. The characterization activities will be supported by various research facilities available at IIT. Importantly, the candidate is expected to support also the fabrication of electroluminescent devices and engage in collaboration with other group members working in project "RADIANT".
ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS Ph.D. in Chemistry, Materials Science, or related fieldsExperience in performing synthesis of III-V colloidal quantum dots and in their optical characterizationGood command of spoken and written EnglishADDITIONAL SKILLS Ability to work in a challenging and international environmentCapacity to work autonomously and collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary environmentPossess Analytical Reasoning skills and a growth mindsetCOMPENSATION PACKAGE Private health care coverage depending on your role and contractCandidates from abroad or Italian citizens who have carried scientific research activity permanently abroad and meet specific requirements, may be entitled to a deduction from taxable income of up to 90% from 6 to 13 years.Please submit your application using the online form and including a detailed CV, university transcripts, cover letter, and contact details of 2 references.
