Electrochemical characterization of novel nano-size materials

Description:
This interdisciplinary project aims at the development of novel materials fabricated with top down and bottom up nanotech fabrication techniques, and to the characterization of these materials with electrochemical techniques.
To improve the electrochemical properties of the synthesized materials, the candidate will be requested to elaborate mathematical structural modeling to be verified with experimental data. Prior knowledge of Comsol FEM software will be considered an advantage.

Requirements:
Applicants should hold a master degree within a relevant discipline. A suitable background would be, physics, chemistry, engineer, material science, electrochemistry or similar. Experience with electrochemistry and programming will be favourable. Publications and any other work which the applicant wishes to be taken into account must be enclosed. Joint works will be considered provided that a short summary outlining the applicant’s contributions is attached.

The application must include a statement of purpose related to the present call. This statement
should be precise and brief, and states the candidate’s academic and research interests. The
applications must also include a motivation letter, CV, diplomas, and reference letters.

Deadline: August 22nd 2014
