1 Research Assistant position in the context of the research project “Graphene Core 1, GA: 696656 – Graphene-based disruptive technologies” in Greece | Foundation of Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH)

The Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences, Foundation of Research and Technology - Hellas, (FORTH/ICE-HT) is seeking applicants for one position of a research assistant in the context of the research project “Graphene Core 1, GA: 696656 – Graphene-based disruptive technologies”. The project is implemented under the EU-Horizon 2020 Research & Innovation Actions (RIA) and is financially supported by EC-financed parts of the Graphene Flagship.

To conduct research in the framework of the aforementioned project “Graphene Core 1, GA: 696656 – Graphene-based disruptive technologies”. The aim of this research is the in-depth characterization of graphene related materials (GRM) in conjunction with mechanical testing in different modes (bending, tension, compression etc) and at different treatment methodologies such as plasma processing; thus an in-depth understanding effectiveness of enhancement of mechanical properties can be assessed

The potential candidate should be responsible for the following main tasks:

• Synthesis of GRM samples using methods such as Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) along with surface treatment techniques achieving different levels of functionalization
• Assessing the properties of produced GRM samples using techniques such as Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy etc in conjunction with mechanical testing.
