Electrospinning and Nanofiber Materials Specialist – Industrial Applications INVENIO SRL | Initially External Professional Collaboration | International Applications Welcome Who We Are Looking ForINVENIO SRL is seeking to connect with a qualified professional with hands-on experience in electrospinning and nanofiber material development, with a view to exploring a potential professional collaboration, initially on an external basis. We are looking for someone who combines strong scientific and technical expertise with a creative, pragmatic, and application-oriented approach. At INVENIO SRL, developing a technologically sound nanofibrous material is necessary, but not sufficient. The true value of this technology lies in translating material properties into tangible functional performance and practical solutions that can be integrated into companies' products or processes. We are particularly interested in professionals who can understand technical and industrial needs, identify potential applications, and contribute to the development of nanofibrous materials designed to meet specific performance requirements. Essential Qualifications and Skills
• A Master's degree in Nanotechnology, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Polymer Science, or a closely related discipline.
• Significant, direct hands-on experience with electrospinning technologies, polymer formulation, and process parameter optimization.
• Expertise in the development and morphological, structural, physicochemical, and functional characterization of nanofibrous materials.
• Ability to understand the relationships between material composition, manufacturing processes, material properties, and functional performance.
• Ability to approach technical challenges systematically,
work independently, and focus on achieving tangible results. Preferred Experience and QualificationsThe following qualifications and experience would be particularly valued:
• A PhD in Nanotechnology, Materials Science and Engineering, Chemistry, or a related discipline, preferably with a research focus on electrospinning and nanofibrous materials.
• Direct experience applying nanofibrous materials to real-world development projects, with clearly defined functional objectives and experimentally verified performance.
• Participation in applied research and development projects, including collaborations with companies, with demonstrable personal contributions to the development and evaluation of functional solutions or prototypes.
• Experience adapting or integrating nanofibrous materials into existing products, components, or processes.
• Knowledge of reproducibility, scalability, and the practical and manufacturing feasibility of nanofiber-based solutions.
• Ability to identify new opportunities for applying nanofiber technologies, including in application areas beyond those previously explored. Personal and Interpersonal SkillsIn addition to technical expertise, we place particular importance on:
• Scientific curiosity, creativity, initiative, and openness to new applications.
• Professional independence, reliability, accountability,
and organizational skills.
• Strong listening and collaboration skills, together with the ability to understand the needs of people from different professional and technical backgrounds.
• Ability to explain complex scientific and technical concepts clearly, accurately, and accessibly, including to non-specialist audiences.
• Ability to present and discuss technological solutions, highlighting their performance, potential, and any practical limitations.
• Good command of English and willingness to engage in international professional environments. Collaboration ArrangementsThis opportunity is intended to explore a professional collaboration, initially on an external basis, with the scope of activities, terms, and working arrangements to be mutually agreed upon, taking into account the professional's expertise and experience. Applications are welcome from professionals based in Italy or abroad. Relocation to Italy or continuous on-site presence at INVENIO SRL's premises is not required. The collaboration may involve remote activities and, where appropriate, travel, including internationally, depending on mutually agreed requirements.
How to Apply
Interested professionals are invited to submit an up-to-date CV highlighting their expertise and experience in electrospinning technologies, nanofibrous material development, and related applications. A brief description of one or more real-world application projects to which the applicant has personally contributed would be particularly appreciated, outlining, where possible, the problem addressed, the targeted performance requirements, their individual contribution, and the results achieved, without disclosing any confidential information.
