Offer Description

The project focuses on molecularly engineered interfaces as active functional elements in two‑and‑three terminal devices. Rather than acting as passive interlayers, molecules will be exploited as an additional, non‑conventional gating mechanism that can respond to electrical and optical stimuli, or act as doping agents through charge‑transfer. We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team to work on the integration of functional molecular assemblies into electronic devices, with a strong emphasis on the role of interfaces in device performance. The successful candidate will work in collaboration between the e‑MolMat and FunNanoSurf research groups at the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB‑CSIC), in a highly interdisciplinary environment at the interface of chemistry, materials science, and device physics. The candidate will have access to chemical laboratories, state‑of‑the‑art (nano)fabrication and characterization facilities (at ICMAB and nearby institutions). We are part of ICMAB (www.icmab.es ), a research institute of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). ICMAB is a globally recognized, multidisciplinary center for cutting‑edge research in functional materials for electronics, energy, and health. The institute promotes knowledge transfer and is distinguished by its international outlook and policies on education, inclusion, and diversity. Our facilities are located in the research park of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB).
