In this sense, IIT's scientific program is based in the combination of the basic scientific research with the development of technical applications, a major inspirational principle. The research areas cover scientific topics of high innovative content, which represent the most advanced frontiers of modern technology, with wide application possibilities in various fields ranging from medicine to industry, from computer science to robotics, life sciences, and nanobiotechnology. Applications are invited for a Post-doctoral position on the study of molecular dynamics for sub-diffraction imaging and lithography techniques by means of the RESOLFT Concept. The project stems from a strong collaboration between the department of Nanophysics at the IIT in Genoa and the Center for Nano Science and Technology at the IIT @Polimi in Milan. The project aims to unveil the limitations in the switching mechanisms of the existing RESOLFT methods in order to propose innovative solutions, both in terms of ad hoc molecular systems and photophysical processes, for the design of cutting-edge nanoscopy set-ups. The candidate will be responsible both for the photophysical characterization of the active materials involved in the RESOLFT process by time resolved optical spectroscopy and for the design and realization of an optical setup to perform fluorescence imaging and lithographic measurements with sub-diffraction resolution. The applicant should have a PhD in physics and/or engineering with good knowledge of physical chemistry. Experience in the field of molecular spectroscopy and/or optical microscopy is required. She/he must have a strong attitude to work in an interdisciplinary team and will be available to travelling between Genoa and Milan according to experimental needs. Main working laboratory is at the Department of Nanophysics at the Central Research Laboratories of IIT, Genoa. Duration of the project is 2 years. To apply please submit your CV with a list of publications and two reference letters toalberto.diaspro@iit.it, annamaria.petrozza@iit.it and benjamin.harke@iit.it (cc.manuela.salvatori@iit.it) Candidatures received by the 31st of December will be considered. For any further information, please feel free to contact us using the email addresses above.
