As a flagship research center in nanoscience and nanotechnology, our mission is to open and explore new frontiers of knowledge at the nanoscale, and bring value to society in the form of new understanding, capabilities and innovation, while inspiring and providing broad training to the next generations of researchers. Our values are Commitment, Collaboration and Transformation.
Our research lines focus on the newly-discovered physical and chemical properties that arise from the behaviour of matter at the nanoscale. ICN2 has been awarded with the Severo Ochoa Center of Excellence distinction for three consecutive periods (2014-2018 and 2018-2022 and 2023-2026). ICN2 comprises 20 Research Groups, 7 Technical Development and Support Units and Facilities, and 2 Research Platforms, covering different areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Job Title: Research Support Technician
Department: Advanced Electronic Materials and Devices
Description of Group/Project:
Advanced Electronic Materials and Devices Group focuses on the development of technological applications based on graphene and other 2D materials (MoS2). The activities cut across different scientific aspects, from the fundamentals (the physics of devices and semiconductors) to materials (growth of graphene and 2D materials by CVD and MOCVD, surface functionalisation, advanced characterisation), through to devices (fabrication technology, nanofabrication) and applications, with a strong emphasis on bioelectronics for neural interfacing.
Main Tasks and responsibilities:
The research activity of the candidate will be part of the TRIBOMED project. The candidate will be involved in activities related to the design, fabrication, and assessment of a power management (PM) system to couple an energy harvesting device with a neuromodulation implant. The development of the PM custom electronics include the following tasks: i) benchmarking the power generation capabilities of TENGs under real conditions, ii) characterizing power consumption for stimulation protocols of interest, and iii) defining the specifications for PM system based on charge transfer principles.
The research activity of the candidate will be framed within the project ERC-CoG TRIBOMED (G.A. 101125401) that aims to design and produce novel energy harvesting devices for the development of self-driven neural interfaces.
Requirements:
- Education: Degree in Telecommunications Engineering, Physics, or equivalent.
- Knowledge and Professional Experience: Electronic systems/circuits development, programming
- Personal Competences: Teamwork skills, Fluent English (both spoken and written), hands-on
Summary of conditions:
- Full time work (37,5h/week)
- Contract Length: Temporary
- Location: Bellaterra (Barcelona)
- Salary will depend on qualifications and demonstrated experience.
- Support to the relocation issues.
- Life Insurance.
Estimated Incorporation date: September 2026
How to apply:
All applications must be made via the ICN2 website and include the following:
- A full CV including contact details.
- Reference letters or referee contacts
Deadline for applications: 6 June 2026
