Horizon Europe - ERC Reference Number Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? Yes
Offer Description
Postdocs and MSc graduates with relevant hands-on experience are both welcome.
Join the Lab fro Surface Phenomena and Integrated Systems (SPIS) and the ERC Consolidator project EpiC (Epicuticular electrification: spontaneous charging of materials at the world's largest bio-air interface) at the Institute of BioRobotics, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna,



Pisa under supervision of Prof. Dr. Fabian Meder.
THE ROLE
You will develop a new class of autonomous robotic scanning platforms that map dynamic electrostatic potentials on complex materials and living systems. You will build and integrate multimodal sensors (vibrating probes, voltmeters, precision amplifiers) for ultra-low-noise acquisition (picoampere/microvolt level) and advanced mechatronics for precision measurements in controlled and biological environments. Your instruments will open new fields: electrostatics in nature, triboelectricity, droplet electrification, energy harvesting, and electroecology.
This is a strongly hands-on position, focused on applied electronics and mechatronics.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
A scientist or engineer who enjoys building, testing and improving instrumentation
Experience in applied electronics, precision measurements, mechatronics or sensor integration
Curiosity
