About this position
LEAF – “SeLf-powered self-rEshaping Autarkic skin For wireless motes” is a Horizon Europe project hosted by NOVA.id.FCT at CENIMAT|i3N, located at the Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa in Caparica. The hired researcher will join a materials-focused environment that brings together Materials Science, Chemistry, Physics and Nanotechnology in a project centered on sustainable inks based on metal oxide nanostructures and their use in printed electronic devices.
The researcher will develop and optimize ink formulations and printing processes, then use them to fabricate and characterize antennas and sensors for humidity detection and visible-light response. The work specifically involves flexography and screen printing, alongside device fabrication and the characterization of printed structures. The project also mentions sustainable, self-powered, autarkic skin-like systems for wireless motes, placing the work at the intersection of advanced functional materials and applied printed electronics.
The position is based at CENIMAT|i3N, part of the FCT-NOVA campus at Caparica, with travel in Portugal or abroad as needed for the research activity. The appointment is for a full-time, unfixed-term contract linked to the project.
