Postdoctoral Researcher in 2D Material Nanocomposites for Tunable Photonics
Postdoctoral Researcher in 2D Material Nanocomposites for Tunable Photonics
Aalto University
Espoo, Finland
The Molecular Materials group in the Department of Applied Physics is now looking for a highly motivated Postdoctoral researcher in 2D material nanocomposites for tunable photonics
Are you interested in developing new materials for photonics devices? The high-performance optically active materials (OAMs) are desirable for many applications. However, the current OAMs still have some critical issues to be resolved for practical applications. This project aims to develop a new OAM platform using well-designed 2D material nanocomposites based on MXenes combined with functional organic molecules, and to demonstrate prototype devices for large modulating amplitudes or fast switching speeds. If you are a talented researcher interested in 2D material photonics and electronics and enjoy highly interdisciplinary research environment, this might be something for you!
As a postdoctoral researcher, your responsibilities will include
- Planning and executing laboratory experiments on 2D material nanocomposite synthesis
- Thin film electrochemical and FET device fabrication and characterization
- Writing publications for peer-reviewed high level scientific journals
- Presenting research findings at international conferences and seminars
- Research visits with European partner universities and research facilities
- Showing good social skills in collaborations to promote collaborations
What we require
The candidate should have or will shortly receive a Ph.D. degree or equivalent in Chemistry, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering or Physics. Experience and knowledge in one or more of the following areas are considered as merits:
- Research background in thin-film device fabrication (i.e. electrochromic devices, LIBs and supercapacitors, FETs) with 2D materials (preferably MXene or graphene)
- Hands-on experience in wet chemistry synthesis and chemical safety
- Working experience in clean room is highly valued
- Both hands-on and data analysis skills in classical materials characterization methods (i.e., TEM, SEM, XRD, XPS, NMR, IR, Raman)
- Good oral and written proficiency of English. Finnish language is not required
- High motivation and team player in interdisciplinary settings
- Knowledge in inorganic, metal-organic, or organic chemistry is a plus
The experience should be demonstrated by evidence of success in related studies, and also by publication record. Other merits demonstrating suitability for a postdoctoral researcher position can also be considered.
