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

The Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) is seeking a highly skilled and motivated researcher to join our team as a postdoctoral researcher in the field of soft mechanical sensing for robotics.

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will be part of a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group working on the development of innovative fully integrated soft mechanical sensing solutions by 3D printing for soft robotics.

Your main responsibilities will include:

  • 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, and similar disciplines, as well as at least 2-yr experience in fabrication processes based on Digital Light Processing (DLP) printing, multimaterial printing, casting/deposition of soft materials, development and characterization of flexible and stretchable smart materials in general and for 3D printing.

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

Benefits include a competitive salary package for international standards, private health care coverage, wide range of staff discounts, and a deduction from taxable income of up to 90% from 6 to 13 years for candidates from abroad or Italian citizens who permanently work abroad and meet specific requirements.
