Junior Postdoctoral Fellowship – Materials Synthesis & Characterization; PVD

Position: Junior Postdoctoral Fellowship – Materials Synthesis & Characterization (PVD)
Offer Description
The N-REX Group, Department of Physics, University of Bologna, invites applications for a Junior Postdoctoral Fellowship within the Physics of Matter sector.
The position is fully funded by the HERMES project and is intended for an early-career postdoctoral researcher for a 24-month appointment.
Research Context
The selected candidate will work on the synthesis of advanced functional materials by Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) techniques and their structural, chemical, and functional characterization. The research activities will support the development of novel materials and architectures for photoelectrocatalysis, within an interdisciplinary framework combining materials science, physics, and data-driven approaches.
Required Profile

PhD in Materials Science, Physics, Engineering, or a closely related discipline

Experience with physical/chemical vapour deposition techniques (e.g. sputtering, ALD, Spray pyrolysis)
Background in materials characterization (structural, optical, electrical, or surface analysis)
Motivation to develop independent research skills within a collaborative environment
Good command of written and spoken English

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with thin-film growth optimization and process control
Familiarity with vacuum systems and clean-room procedures
Interest in photoelectrocatalysis or energy-related materials
Duration: 24 months
