Genoa, Liguria, Italia Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia A tempo pieno

At Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, we are seeking a highly skilled Postdoctoral Researcher to join our team in Genova. The successful candidate will be part of a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, working under the supervision of Dr. Lucia Beccai.

The research aim is to design, fabricate, and test innovative fully integrated soft mechanical sensing solutions by 3D printing for soft robotics. The successful candidate will be responsible for:

  • Design and fabrication of soft mesoscale active structures by 3D printing embedding multiple materials with different properties (e.g. mechanical, electrical, optical, etc.) for 3D mechanical soft sensing
  • Investigation of innovative materials with custom properties (electrical, optical, mechanical), compatible with 3D printing processes
  • Characterization of 3D printed soft mechanical sensors

The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in material science, micro/nanotechnology, electrical engineering, or similar disciplines, and at least 2-yr experience in fabrication processes based on Digital Light Processing (DLP) printing, multimaterial printing, casting/deposition of soft materials, and development and characterization of flexible and stretchable smart materials in general and for 3D printing.

The successful candidate will also have strong skills on design and testing of soft mechanical (force, vibration, shear etc.) sensors, mechanical design (*.stl files), an excellent publication record, and the ability to properly report, organize, and publish research data. Excellent communication skills and an excellent command in spoken and written English are also required.

We offer a competitive salary package for international standards, private health care coverage, and a wide range of staff discounts. If you are a highly motivated and talented researcher looking for a new challenge, please submit your application.

We are an equal, inclusive, and multicultural environment, ready to welcome you with open arms. Discrimination is a big NO for us. We like contamination and encourage you to mingle and discover what other people are up to in our labs. If paperwork is not your piece of cake, we got you. There's a specialized team working to help you with that, especially during your relocation.

We stick to our values: Integrity, courage, societal responsibility, and inclusivity are the values we believe in. They define us and our actions in our everyday life. They guide us to accomplish IIT mission.
