Not funded by a EU programme Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No /p h3Offer Description /h3 pThe research programme aims to develop micro- and nanostructured surfaces for anti-counterfeiting applications, directly integrated into polymer components manufactured by injection moulding. Activities will focus on the design, prototyping and characterization of optical textures based on diffractive structures, LIPSS and Diffractive Optical Elements, able to generate visual and/or instrument-readable signatures. The work will investigate mould insert manufacturability, nanostructure replication by micro-injection moulding,



the effect of process parameters and the optical functionality of the produced samples. The programme will support the definition of guidelines for the industrial integration of low-cost anti-counterfeiting solutions in thermoplastic components. /p ul libEmployment contract with full social security: /byes /li libTotal amount per fellowship per year: /b30000 /li libCurrency: /bEuro /li libCovers salary: /byes /li libCovers travel and subsistence: /bno /li libCovers research costs: /bno /li libCovers other costs: /bSocial security contributions /li libMaximum duration of fellowship: /b12 /li /ul h3Eligibility criteria /h3 pComparative assessment and interview /p ul liItaly /li /ul pbEligibility of fellows: country/ies of residence: /b /p ul liInternational /li /ul pbEligibility of fellows: nationality/ies: /b /p ul liInternational /li /ul h3Selection process /h3 pComparative assessment of qualifications, scientific-professional curriculum.scientific productivity and interview /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
