Maria Ibáñez

Maria Ibáñez at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to join her group near Vienna, Austria. The project focuses on electronic transport and thermoelectric properties of individual 3D nanocrystal supercrystals and related nanocrystal solids. The successful candidate will help establish measurement approaches for electrical and thermoelectric characterization, including the design of suitable contact geometries, fabrication strategies, and measurement protocols. Relevant expertise includes electrical transport in semiconductors , microcrystals or nanostructured materials, two- and four-probe measurements , temperature-dependent conductivity, and micro/nanofabrication of contacts such as FIB-based contacting or lithography. Experience separating intrinsic transport from contact and geometry effects is especially important. Additional valuable experience includes Hall measurements , magnetotransport , Seebeck measurements , quantum-dot solids, nanocrystal solids, superlattices, or mesocrystals. To apply, email your CV and motivation letter to [email protected] . This post does not mention a deadline or funding details.

Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), near Vienna, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join Maria Ibáñez’s group for research on nanocrystal superstructures and supercrystals . The project centers on advanced TEM/STEM and electron microscopy approaches that go beyond final-state imaging to study how nanocrystals organize, orient, interact, and transform during assembly. The role is especially suited to researchers interested in combining microscopy with fundamental questions in materials science , physics , and chemistry . Desired expertise includes high-resolution TEM/STEM, image analysis, quantitative structural characterization of nanoscale materials, and ideally electron tomography, 3D reconstruction, in situ or liquid-cell TEM, low-dose imaging, particle/orientation analysis, or computational processing of microscopy datasets. A background in nanocrystals, colloidal nanoparticles, superlattices, self-assembly, or semiconductor nanomaterials would be a strong advantage. Applicants should send a CV and motivation letter directly to [email protected] . No deadline was stated in the post.
