Job Description - Post doc position in the field of nanocrystals synthesis (2500000U) Project: NEHA (Nanoscale Epitaxial Heterostructures Involving Metal Halides); UNICORN (Hybrid Nanocomposite Scintillators for Transformational Breakthroughs in Radiation Detection and Neutrino Research) Commitment & contract: 2 years contract THE ROLE The 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.

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.

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS The ideal candidate will have a PhD in Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science or a related subject.

Strong background in the synthesis of colloidal nanocrystals.

Expertise in nanocrystals characterization tools.

Fluency in English is essential.

The successful candidate should have good practice with teamwork, group learning processes and a problem-solving attitude.

A strong publication record.

The ability to properly report, organize and publish research data.

ADDITIONAL SKILLS Strong problem solving attitude High motivation to learn Spirit of innovation and creativity Good in time and priority management Ability to work in a challenging and international environment Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a highly interdisciplinary environment COMPENSATION PACKAGE Private health care coverage depending on your role and contract.

Candidates 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 CV outlining experience and qualifications, a motivation letter and the name and contact information of at least two professional references.

Application's deadline: February 27th 2025 #J-18808-Ljbffr
