Open positions
In March 2024, we will start a 4-year EU Pathfinder project, ADAPTATION, to design, characterize, and develop novel devices to harvest energy in a bioinspired way. The project will be carried out by a consortium of nine EU entities: Universidade do Minho and the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) from Portugal; CSIC, University of Vigo, Avanzare Innovation Tecnologica SL and Cooling Photonics from Spain; University of Strasbourg from France, University of Utrecht from the Netherlands and Sunplugged-solare Energiesysteme GMBH, from Austria.
ADAPTATION concept: energy harvesting and radiative cooling merged in a single device

Postdoc position
We are looking for an experienced researcher on experimental thermal management, radiative cooling, heat transfer and/or photonics. Experience on radiative-cooling measurements is a major plus. Experience on photonics and general optics is also good starting point. Experience on numerical electromagnetic modelling tools and/or python/matlab programing to compute photonic properties of nanostructures are also valuable. Maybe most important than anything: passionate and enthusiastic candidates are strongly encouraged to apply to this research position.
PhD position
We are looking for Masters in Physics or Engineering. Experience on photonics and/or experimental thermal management, radiative cooling, heat transfer and/or photonics. Experience on radiative-cooling measurements is a major plus, See, for example this paper. Experience on photonics and general optics is also good starting points. Experience on numerical modelling tools to calculate basic photonic properties of nanostructures and/or programing experience on python/matlab are also valuable. Maybe most important than anything: passionate and enthusiastic candidates are strongly encouraged to apply to this research position.
