The Center for Nanotechnology Innovation, IIT@NEST in Pisa (Italy) is inviting applications for a postdoctoral fellow to join a multidisciplinary group of scientists to work in the area of STM investigations of the interaction of hydrogen with graphene. This particular research line is embedded in a larger initiative in the area of graphene-based systems for energy applications as part of the Energy Platform of the Italian Institute of Technology.
We are seeking a highly motivated and dedicated postdoctoral fellow to carry out a research project on the investigation by scanning tunneling microscopy of the atomic processes occurring during graphene exposure to atomic hydrogen.
Ideal candidates should have a strong background in surface science or physical chemistry and an interest in research focused on graphene. Basic knowledge of imaging and spectroscopic techniques with STM and of ultra-high vacuum technology is a plus.
We value scientists who can carry out interdisciplinary research projects with a high level of independence yet work in close collaboration with other scientists with complementary expertise.
The employment will be for two years. A competitive salary depending on experience will be offered.
Interested applicants should submit CV, list of publications, a statement of research interests, and at least the names of two referees in electronic form via the ‘Apply Now’ button. Any enquiries should also be sent to this address. Please do not forget to mention the Job Reference in your application. The position is open until filled but for full consideration, apply by 30.10.2010.
In order to comply with the Italian law (art. 23 of Privacy Law of the Italian Legislative Decree n. 196/03), we have to kindly ask the candidate to give his/her consent to allow IIT to process his/her personal data.
