Job description

Offer DescriptionCommitment & contract: 2 yearsLocation: Genova, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, via Morego 30WHO WE AREAt IIT we work enthusiastically to develop human-centered Science and Technology to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of our times and transfer these technologies to the production system and society. Our Genoa headquarter is strictly inter-connected with our 11 centers around Italy and a strong international network for a truly interdisciplinary experience.YOUR TEAM AND ROLEThe Electron Spectroscopy and Nanoscopy Research Unit is coordinated by Giorgio Divitini, who has extensive experience in Electron Microscopy technique development and applications.The research focuses on furthering and applying the state of the art in electron microscopy for materials, taking advantage of a recently installed ThermoFisher Spectra 300 S/TEM equipped with an “ultimono” monochromator, capable of an energy resolution better than 30 meV, image and probe correctors, and a Continuum+K3 GIF. The group will also further data analysis using and developing software routines for analysis of large datasets. Research projects span beam-sensitive materials with optoelectronic applications, such as hybrid perovskites, MOFs, and materials for energy in general, as well as systems at the interface between life sciences and materials science. The research line has close collaborations with both EU and non-EU world-leading groups.Within the team, your main responsibilities will be:

• Use of Electron Microscopes (including an aberration corrected TF Spectra 300 S/TEM) to develop new approaches for 1) low dose, monochromated EELS, 2) diffraction-based imaging of beam sensitive materials, including 2D materials, 3) analysis of materials for optoelectronics, such as semiconductor nanocrystals and hybrid perovskites
• Data analysis and preparation of scientific outputs
• Sample preparation and optimisation for TEM

WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU SHINE

• A PhD in Physics, Materials Science or similar disciplines
• Documented experience in TEM techniques
• A strong publication record
• The ability to properly report, organise and publish research data
• Documented experience in coaching junior scientists
• Good command of spoken and written English

EXTRA AWESOME

• Experience on advanced electron microscopy, including techniques such as aberration corrected S/TEM, mono-EELS, Scanning Electron Diffraction, electron tomography and holography
• Experience on sample preparation for TEM
• Knowledge of software for EM data analysis, particularly open source toolkits such as Hyperspy, py4DSTEM etc.
• Good communication 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 & BENEFITS
