Job Title

Research Support Technician in nanofabrication and nanoscale thermal transport

Department

Thermal Properties of Nanoscale Materials

Description of Group/Project

The Thermal Properties of Nanoscale Materials group (GTNaM), active at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) since 2000, has become affiliated to the Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia (ICN2) in January 2021. Its activities mainly revolve around the study of thermal properties of disordered and nanoscale materials, with special focus on the ultrathin film limit and low‑dimensional solids. https://gtnam.org/.



‘Phonon engineering in precisely assembled atomically thin layers (PETITE)’ aims at development of advanced 2D materials with enhanced elastic and thermal anisotropy via phonon engineering, by controlling the precise arrangement of atomic layers and their relative angle and interface quality.

Main Tasks and Responsibilities
- Develop nanofabrication methods for free‑standing, large‑area 2D materials (mechanical exfoliation and dry transfer).
- Study nanoscale transport in suspended and supported 2D materials.

Requirements
- Education: BSc/MSc in Physics, Nanoscience or similar.
- Knowledge and professional experience in experimental techniques for nanofabrication of 2D materials; optical characterization techniques such as Raman spectroscopy will be a plus.
- Personal competences: Excellent organizational and time‑management skills, ability to deliver timely and high‑quality outputs, scientific writing and communication skills in English, ability to work independently and proactively, and abili
