As a flagship research center in nanoscience and nanotechnology, our mission is to open and explore new frontiers of knowledge at the nanoscale, and bring value to society in the form of new understanding, capabilities and innovation, while inspiring and providing broad training to the next generations of researchers. Our values are Commitment, Collaboration and Transformation.
Our research lines focus on the newly-discovered physical and chemical properties that arise from the behaviour of matter at the nanoscale. ICN2 has been awarded with the Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence distinction for three consecutive periods (2014-2018 and 2018-2022 and 2023-2026). ICN2 comprises 20 Research Groups, 7 Technical Development and Support Units and Facilities, and 2 Research Platforms, covering different areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Job Title
Research assistant 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
The candidate will be involved in the international (Europe-Japan) PETITE project on thermal transport in 2D materials. The main tasks involve:
To develop nanofabrication methods for free-standing, large-area 2D materials (me
