ABOUT US

At IIT we work enthusiastically to develop human-centered Science and Technology to tackle some of the most pressing societal challenges of our times and transfer these technologies to the production system and society.

Our Genoa headquarters are strictly interconnected with the other 11 centers around Italy and two outstations based in the US.

We promote excellence in basic and applied research such as neuroscience and cognition, humanoid technologies and robotics, nanotechnology, materials for a truly multidisciplinary scientific experience.

YOUR TEAM

You will be working in a multicultural and multi-disciplinary group, where physicist, chemist, biomedical and electrical engineers collaborate, each with their own expertise, to carry out common research.

This position is part of a multidisciplinary and ambitious research effort, in the framework of the PathFinder EU project "IV-Lab", towards the realization of a multi-sensing device implantable in blood vessels.

The micro-sensing-system is specifically designed for monitoring patient with heart failure by targeting hemodynamic and biochemical parameters, and will allow wireless connectivity.

The Printed and Molecular Electronics (PME) Research Line is coordinated by Dr. Mario Caironi, who has extensive experience in printed, flexible and large-area electronics.

PME will contribute to "IV-Lab" by developing highly sensitive printed carbon-based biosensors for cardiac troponin.

Within the team, your main responsibilities will be:

Develop printed biosensors based on Electrolyte Gated Organic Field Effect Transistors (EGOFETs) to detect Cardiac Troponin
Define functionalization protocols for the biorecognition layer

This open position/research is financed by the European Innovation Council within the EIC Pathfinder project "IV-LAB" under the grant agreement

ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS

A PhD in Chemistry, Physics or Material Science. A PhD in Biomedical/Electronic Engineering or similar disciplines will also be considered, if competence in bioelectronics devices and biosensors is demonstrated
Proven laboratory skills on the fabrication and characterization of carbonbased/organic transistors
Previous experience on biofunctionalization of surfaces such as gold electrode or semiconductors is a plus
A strong publication record
The ability to properly report, organize and publish research data
Documented experience in coaching junior scientists
Good command in spoken and written English

ADDITIONAL SKILLS

Experience on biosensors
Knowledge of Surface Plasmon Resonance
Experience in international laboratories
Good communication skills
Strong problem solving attitude
High motivation to learn
