Four (4) PhD Positions in Nanoscience, Italian Institute of Technology, Italy (2015)

The research themes strongly rely on various aspects of physics and chemistry at the nano-scales, with particular regard of nanofabrication advanced techniques and nano-devices. Some of them are clearly related to application to Neuroscience, Biotechnology, and biomedical future devices. Candidates should have a master in Physics, Chemistry, Electronic Engineering or similar. Background in Biophysics is strongly appreciated for some themes. For details on the research themes see below. Additional research themes can be proposed by the applicants during the interviews.

Research themes:
- Single Molecule Detection: the ultimate biosensor issue
- Plasmonic nanostructures for all-optical computing
- Nanostructured surfaces for Neuronal Networks Interfaces
- Novel systems for intracellular nano-delivery
- Novel nano-size materials for energy storage
- Computational approach for Li-ion battery storage
- Photon Enhanced Thermionic Emission
- Driving molecules at the nanoscale

Research Theme Descriptions:
1. Single Molecule Detection: the ultimate biosensor issue
