The Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences, Foundation of Research and Technology – Hellas, (FORTH/ICE-HT) is seeking applicants for one MSc fellowship position in the context of the research project «Innovative pilot lines for sustainable graphene-based flexible and structural energy harvesting and storage devices (GRAPHERGIA), GA: 101120832», which is implemented under the HORIZON EUROPE.
Job Description
To conduct research as a MSc candidate in the framework of the aforementioned project “GRAPHERGIA”. The main objective of GRAPHERGIA is to develop a new science-based, holistic approach, implementing new advances to achieve one-step, laser-assisted synthesis, processing, functionalization and simultaneous integration of graphene-based materials and graphene nanohybrids, directly into relevant energy harvesting/storage devices. The selected candidate will conduct research, as a graduate student (M.Sc.), in the framework of the aforementioned project “GRAPHERGIA”, in the Synthesis of carbon-based nanostructures via electrospinning applications.
Location: FORTH/ICE-HT, Patras, Greece
Duration: up to 6 months, with the potential of renewal or extension according to the needs of the project.
Fellowship: up to approximately 600 € per month (graduate fellowship) depending on qualifications.
Envisaged starting date: 01/11/2023
Requirements and Qualifications
The applicant should hold B.Sc. in Physics or Chemistry or Materials Science or relevant field. The candidate should have been registered as a Graduate student (M.Sc.) in a Materials Science related program in a Physics or Chemistry or Materials Science Department or related discipline. Experience with the use of electrospinning techniques for the preparation of polymer-based nanofibers and their heat-induced transformation to carbonaceous nanostructures would be highly preferred. Candidates must be fluent in Greek language and have a good knowledge of English (at least level B2) language.
The evaluation of the candidacies will be based on the following criteria and qualifications:
