CIDETEC’s Polymer and Composite Unit is seeking to recruit a specialist in non-destructive inspection techniques (NDT) for composite materials for the development of RDI projects and preparing new projects.
The unit’s work mainly focuses on developing new material formulations with advanced functionalities and/or improved sustainability

Responsibilities:
Research and development work on R&D projects assigned, in collaboration with the Project team. They will be responsible for tasks involving:

- Mechanical and non-destructive characterization of the composites developed at specimen level.
- Design of repair and recycling processes.
- Prototype design.
- Design of moulds and tools for prototype manufacture.
Drawing up national and international RDI technical proposals.

INL is seeking a Transmission Electron Microscopist to join the Advanced Electron Microscopy Imaging and Spectroscopy Facility (AEMIS) to work primarily on the characterization of nanomaterials using conventional and aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy and scanning-transmission electron microscopy.

The Director-General is responsible for the overall leadership, strategic direction and management of the multidisciplinary and international community of INL. Moreover, the Director-General is the spokesperson for INL and serves as an advocate and communicator with all stakeholders and interested parties including worldwide scientific community, policy makers, industry groups, funding organisations, the media and the general public.

A new PhD position is open in the grup of Supramolecular Nanomaterials with researcher Kasper Moth-Poulsen.

The candidate will work in the framework of the ERC project “Photo Thermal Management Materials (PHOTHERM)”. This project seeks to fundamentally change how we generate heating and cooling by developing a new class of materials that capture, store, and release both solar and ambient heat. These solar thermal management materials are a unique combination of molecular photo-switches that capture and store solar energy, so-called MOST systems, that together with phase change materials (PCM) can contribute to thermal management

The candidate will be in charge of studying new molecular systems with unique thermal management function. Hence, the focus of the candidate’s research will be on the device design, photochemistry and physicochemical characterization.

The student will be enrolled into the graduate program of the UAB (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona).
