**Post-doctoral research associate in structure-property relations in nanostructured networks**:
IMDEA Materials Institute is a public research organization founded in 2007 by Madrid’s regional government to carry out research of excellence in Material Science and Engineering by attracting talent from all over the world to work in an international and multidisciplinary environment. IMDEA Materials has grown rapidly since its foundation and currently includes more than 120 researchers from 22 nationalities and has become one of the leading research centers in materials in Europe which has received the María de Maeztu seal of excellence from the Spanish government. The research activities have been focused on the areas of materials for transport, energy, and health care and the Institute has state-of-the-art facilities for processing, characterization and simulation of advanced materials.
**Description**
The researcher will perform analytical and experimental studies on networks of 1D nanomaterials in different macroscopic ensembles, in order to derive models that describe bulk network properties (mechanical, electrical) and relate them to structural features of the 1D nanomaterial populations and of the network.
**Requirements**:
Familiarity with 1D nanomaterials, nanostructured fibres/sheets and characterization methods (Raman spectroscopy, WAXS/SAXS, SEM, mechanical testing) is essential.
PhD in materials science, polymer physics, or a related discipline
**Conditions**
Full-time contract including social security coverage.
The working language of the Institute is English. Full command of the English language is required in all positions.
**WHAT YOU WILL FIND AT IMDEA**:
Stimulating environment where you can grow professionally.
IMDEA Materials Institute is committed to equal opportunities, diversity and the promotion of a healthy work environment and work-life balance. **Female applicants are encouraged to apply** to our research and technical positions.
Besides on-the-job technical training, IMDEA Materials Institute is committed to training the Institute’s scientists and staff in “soft” or transversal skills
