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: Postdoctoral mini-project on photothermal effects in 2D materials

Research area or group: Ultrafast Dynamics in Nanoscale systems

Description of Group/Project: The "Ultrafast Dynamics in Nanoscale Systems" group at ICN2 studies ultrafast phenomena in materials with small dimensions. We use home-built, state-of-the art optical and optoelectronic setups with high temporal and spatial resolution and broad wavelength tunability. Our aim is to gain an increased understanding of the ultrafast microscopic processes related to heat and charge, and exploit this towards photonic and optoelectronic applications. In this project, you will work on optothermal effects in 2D materials.

Main Tasks and responsibilities: To perform optothermal measurements, analysis and write up the results, including previous results.

Requirements:

·            Education: PhD

·            Knowledge: time-domain thermoreflectance, time-resolved photocurrent microscopy, heat transport in 2D

·            Professional Experience: PhD on optothermal studies

·            Personal Competences: team work, independence, initiative, excellent presentation skills
