You will be part of the Scientific Instrumentation and Process Technology
(SIPT) unit which is focusing its RDI activities on new instrumentation,
processes and methodologies in the fields of thin film processing and nano-
analytics. The RDI chain of the SIPT unit spans from fundamental science all
the way up to industrial scale demonstrators. Particularly, the researcher
will be integrated into the Plasma Process Engineering (PPE) group. The PPE
group develops fundamental and technological expertise in the area of vapor
deposition processes for advanced coatings and surfaces. The group focuses on
its recognized expertise in Research and Development of both Chemical Vapor
Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes for surface
modification and the synthesis of functional polymer thin films and functional
inorganic coatings.
How will you contribute?
In the framework of national and international projects of the PPE group, you
will be in charge of research activities in the field of advanced vapor
deposition processes development and polymer catalyst thin films synthesis by
CVD. The main mission of the R&T Associate is to conduct research, development
and innovation in the aforementioned field. You will define and participate in
the definition of RDI projects and be the PI of some of these RDI projects and
you will intervene in the framework of projects of the PPE group and report to
the group leader.
You will be mainly:
Contribute to existing RDI projects or work in development of new
knowledge, technology components, prototype design, etc. oriented by
clients' needs.
Manage the daily research work allowing the smooth progress of the
projects (write technical reports, make presentations at workshops,
produce scientific publications, including as first author)
Formulate innovative/scientific/ technological concepts
Actively collaborate with other researchers in order to promote
interdisciplinary activities internally and externally
Participate in mentoring and training of Junior R&T Associates and
undergraduates/trainees and supervise or co-supervise PhD students
Responsible for the realisation of deliverables in the expected time frame
Disseminate, valorise and transfer RDI results (patents, licences,
prototypes, publications, technical reports, participation in
conferences)
Start developing scientific and technological networks
