Description Project: IV-LAB Commitment & contract: 1 year collaboration contract (renewable) Location: IIT-CNST, Milan, ItalyABOUT US At 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 headquarters are strictly interconnected with the other 11 centers around Italy and two outstations based in the US.
We promote excellence in basic and applied research such as neuroscience and cognition, humanoid technologies and robotics, nanotechnology, materials for a truly multidisciplinary scientific experience.
YOUR TEAM You will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where physicist, chemist, biomedical and electrical engineers collaborate, each with their own expertise, to carry out common research.
This position is part of a multidisciplinary and ambitious research effort, in the framework of the Path Finder EU project “IV- Lab”, towards the realization of a multi-sensing device implantable in blood vessels.
The micro-sensing-system is specifically designed for monitoring patient with heart failure by targeting hemodynamic and biochemical parameters, and will allow wireless connectivity.
PME will contribute to “IV- Lab” by developing highly sensitive printed carbon-based biosensors for cardiac troponin.
Within the team, your main responsibilities will be: Develop printed biosensors based on Electrolyte Gated Organic Field Effect Transistors (EGOFE Ts) to detect Cardiac Troponin Define functionalization protocols for the bio-recognition layer This open position/research is financed by the European Innovation Council within the EIC Pathfinder project “IV-LAB” under the grant agreement ....
ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS A PhD in Chemistry, Physics or Material Science.
A PhD in Biomedical/ Electronic Engineering or similar disciplines will also be considered, if competence in bioelectronics devices and biosensors is demonstrated Proven laboratory skills on the fabrication and characterization of carbon-based/organic transistors Previous experience on bio-functionalization of surfaces such as gold electrode or semiconductors is a plusA strong publication record The ability to properly report, organize and publish research data Documented experience in coaching junior scientists Good command in spoken and written English ADDITIONAL SKILLS Experience on biosensors Knowledge of Surface Plasmon Resonance Experience in international laboratories 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 Competitive salary package for international standards Private health care coverage Wide range of staff discounts Candidates from abroad or Italian citizens who permanently work abroad and meet specific requirements, may be entitled to a deduction from taxable income of up to 90% from 6 to 13 years WHAT’S IN FOR YOU?
