At its core, ALCYONE integrates thin-film sensors and actuators into a compact cell incubator, enabling real-time bioluminescence monitoring of biological responses in space. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will join Sapienza University's School of Aerospace Engineering, leading this project in collaboration with international partners.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge space biotechnology. About UsThe School of Aerospace Engineering (SIA) at Sapienza University of Rome has been a pioneering institution in aeronautics and astronautics since 1926.

In the 1960s, it led Italy's San Marco satellite program, making Italy the third nation to launch a satellite. Today, with missions like UniSat, Lares, TigriSat, and AstroBio CubeSat, SIA remains a global leader in astronautics, blending technological research with hands-on education.
