We are looking now for a postdoctoral fellow to join in our team to work on hybrid graphene-based devices. Deadline for application: applications will be considered as they are received until June 2019.
Terrassa held on 6-7 March 2019 the first edition of the “Women, Science and Technology” (WSciTech19) Conference (Congrés de Dones, Ciència i Tecnologia) and the “Châtelet team” at ICMAB presented their dramatised lecture “Madame Châtelet and her Instagram followers” as a tool to visibilize the wise women in the history of science.
Arántzazu González, researcher from the ICMAB-CSIC, went on 11 February to a Primary School (Can Maiol) to talk to the students and visibilize women scientists, within the initative “Nuestras científicas: Jornada de investigadoras actuales y futuras” of the CSIC-Catalunya. The initiative appeared on the TVE1 news programme “L’informatiu” at 2 pm on 11 February 2019. Look at it here, from minute 16:04!
The CSIC Delegation in Catalunya wants to contribute to the promotion of scientific vocations in young girls, and facilitate the contact between them and the scientists from the nearby research centers. For this reason, an educational action in the framework of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (11 February) is organized, consisting on school visits by some CSIC researchers, who will explain their research projects and their life as a scientist to primary school students.
By the end of 2017, eight researchers of the ICMAB had been granted with nine projects of the European Research Council (ERC). The ERC operates according to a “curiosity-driven”, or “bottom-up”, approach, allowing researchers to identify new opportunities in any field of research. Accordingly, the portfolio ERC funded projects spans a wide range of topics and research questions.
Arántzazu González, Ramon y Cajal researcher at ICMAB and participant of the program “A Researcher in your classroom” was at two primary schools in November, in the framework of the “Science Week” to show the students what is a scientist and what type of research we do at the ICMAB.
On Saturday 29 September, the dramatised reading “Madame Châtelet and her Instagram followers”, which features the life and discoveries of several women scientists throughout history, was represented in the Library “Biblioteca Sagrada Família”, Barcelona, at 1 pm, in the framework of the activities of the European Researchers’ Night (Nit Europea de la Recerca), organised in Catalonia.
Continuing the Strategic Vision for the Severo Ochoa programme FUNMAT (“Smart FUNctional MATerials for social grand challenges”), the ICMAB opened the call for the third edition of the Frontier Interdisciplinary Projects (FIP) earlier this year 2018. Out of all the proposals submitted, 9 projects in different fields have been granted.
The PhD Researcher Raúl Díaz Torres from the FunNanoSurf group will defend his PhD thesis on Friday, 20 July at 11 am:
