Functional and realistic tissue models on chips advance the study of diseases and early-stage assessment of the efficacy and safety of drugs under development. Working at the forefront of research into these microfluidics and organs on chip at TU Delft, you will contribute to disease prevention, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment technology, and help enhance patient wellbeing. You will focus on the seamless integration of transducers, ranging from micropumps and microelectrode arrays to electro-chemical sensors and ultrasonic stimulators, with their driving and readout electronics. 

As Assistant Professor Biomedical Circuits and Systems for Organs on Chip you will conduct scientific research, developing your vision and your scientific domain. You’ll grow your team to three or four PhD students whom you’ll be supervising to completion. For your research you will build your network of industrial partners and attract funding. You’ll be increasingly involved in teaching and supervising master’s students and possibly bachelor’s students. And you’ll develop academically challenging courses, helping us continuously improve our curriculum.

You’ll join our highly-motivated, supportive and cohesive team of professors, teachers, technicians, PhD students and master’s students in our Bioelectronics (BE) and Electronic Components, Technology and Materials (ECTM) groups. We will give you all the support you need to evolve in your tenure-track position, as we’re used to growing talent at various academic levels. At BE and ECTM, you’ll find a welcoming, friendly and open atmosphere. And we are proud of our ground-breaking technological contributions to the field of organs on chip and human disease models! Our facilities include the fully equipped EKL cleanrooms and dedicated sensor, chemical, in-vitro, biosonic, CAD, assembly and measurement labs.

You thrive on generating and realising ground-breaking research, which you may demonstrate by e.g. publications or patents. Leveraging your communication skills, you’ll connect with colleagues throughout the Faculty, helping us make our Faculty as a whole stronger. You also have the ability to build relevant networks and attract funding. In addition, you enjoy teaching and supervising students. 

You also have:

• A PhD in Electrical Engineering.
• Demonstrable research experience in one or more relevant fields, such as biomedical circuits and systems, biosensing, physiological recording, and a drive to work and learn in this multidisciplinary domain.
• An excellent command of English, as TU Delft is an internationally diverse community.

If you feel this role would be a perfect match, but you cannot as yet tick all the boxes, we’d really like to get to know you, as you can learn and grow on the job!

Fixed-term contract: 6 year.

A tenure-track position is offered for six years. In the fifth year we’ll decide if you will be offered a permanent faculty position, based on performance indicators agreed upon at the start of the appointment. We expect that you have the potential to grow towards an Associate Professor and/or Full Professor role in the future.

Inspiring, excellent education is our central aim. We expect you to obtain a University Teaching Qualification (UTQ) within three years if you have less than five years of teaching experience. This is provided by the TU Delft UTQ programme.
TU Delft sets high standards for the English competency of the teaching staff. The TU Delft offers training to improve English competency. If you do not speak Dutch, we offer courses to learn the Dutch language within three years.

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, a discount on health insurance and sport memberships, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.

For international applicants we offer the Coming to Delft Service and Partner Career Advice to assist you with your relocation. An International Children's Centre offers childcare and there is an international primary school.

Delft University of Technology

At TU Delft we embrace diversity as one of our core values and we actively engage to be a university where you feel at home and can flourish. We value different perspectives and qualities. We believe this makes our work more innovative, the TU Delft community more vibrant and the world more just. Together, we imagine, invent and create solutions using technology to have a positive impact on a global scale. That is why we invite you to apply. Your application will receive fair consideration.

Challenge. Change. Impact!

Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) brings together three disciplines - electrical engineering, mathematics and computer science. Combined, they reinforce each other and are the driving force behind the technology we use in our daily lives. Technology such as the electricity grid, which our faculty is helping to make future-proof. We are also working on a world in which humans and computers reinforce each other. We are mapping out disease processes using single cell data, and using mathematics to simulate gigantic ash plumes after a volcanic eruption. There is plenty of room here for ground-breaking research. We educate innovative engineers and have excellent labs and facilities that underline our strong international position. In total, more than 1,100 employees and 4,000 students work and study in this innovative environment.
