NoOffer DescriptionProject: NEHA (Nanoscale Epitaxial Heterostructures Involving Metal Halides); UNICORN (Hybrid Nanocomposite Scintillators for Transformational Breakthroughs in Radiation Detection and Neutrino Research)Commitment & contract: 2 years contractStep into a world of endless possibilities, together let's leave something for the future!At IIT, we are committed to advancing human-centered Science and Technology to address the most urgent societal challenges of our era.

We foster excellence in both fundamental and applied research, spanning fields such as neuroscience and cognition, humanoid technologies and robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and material sciences, offering a truly interdisciplinary scientific experience.

Our approach integrates cutting-edge tools and technology, empowering researchers to push the limits of knowledge and innovation.

With us, your curiosity will know no bounds. We are dedicated to providing equal employment opportunities and fostering diversity in all its forms, creating an inclusive environment.

We value the unique experiences, knowledge, backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives of our people.

By embracing diversity, we believe science can achieve its fullest potential. THE ROLEThe Nanochemistry Research Unit (https://www.iit. it/research/lines/nanochemistry) is seeking highly motivated and talented candidates in the field of synthetic chemistry, targeting the synthesis of epitaxial interfaces in nanocrystalline materials.

The candidates will be involved in the identification of novel synthesis protocols of nanocrystals made of domains of different materials (of which at least one is a metal halide) connected by epitaxial interfaces.

The synthesized nanocrystals will be characterized with a broad set of analytical tools.

The candidates will interact on a regular basis with computational scientists in charge of predicting the stability and properties of such combinations of materials and interfaces, and with other scientists/engineers for advanced characterization and to exploit the synthesized nanocrystals in various applications.

We are offering a two-year contract.

The highly interdisciplinary research environment at IIT provides access to a state-of-the-art computational infrastructure and labs for materials synthesis and characterization. Within the team, your main responsibilities will be:Develop new methods for the synthesis of nanocrystal heterostructures. Cooperate/give support with other postdocs/PhD students/undergrads on nanocrystals synthesis activities. Report to the group on the progress of your research activities and mentoring students.
