We are looking for top candidates interested in doing research in the general area of micro/nano sensor design. Successful candidates will be expected to design, model and fabricate sensors in silicon, silicon carbide and other micro-machinable materials. In collaboration with colleagues in the fields of interface electronics and signal processing, the resulting sensors will then be incorporated into complete sensor systems suitable for use in implantable and wearable microsystems.

• A PhD degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline, with outstanding academic credentials.
• Some years of experience in industrial research and development, OR as a postdoctoral researcher in an academic institution.
• An excellent academic track record reflected by publications in leading international journals.
• Good communication skills in verbal and written English.
• Affinity with teaching and mentoring is considered an advantage.
• A motivated, result-driven team player with the ambition to be a future scientific leader in one of the mentioned areas.

Fixed-term contract: 1.

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. A start-up fund (of 1 PhD) is available. For candidates at the Assistant Professor level we offer an initial temporary position with the prospect of a permanent contract.

Delft University of Technology

Delft University of Technology is built on strong foundations. As creators of the world-famous Dutch waterworks and pioneers in biotech, TU Delft is a top international university combining science, engineering and design. It delivers world class results in education, research and innovation to address challenges in the areas of energy, climate, mobility, health and digital society. For generations, our engineers have proven to be entrepreneurial problem-solvers, both in business and in a social context. At TU Delft we embrace diversity and aim to be as inclusive as possible (see our Code of Conduct). Together, we imagine, invent and create solutions using technology to have a positive impact on a global scale.

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.

Department of Microelectronics, headed by Professor Kofi Makinwa, has a strong interdisciplinary research and education programme in the areas of microelectronics, signal processing, microwave systems and radar.

With more than 11 IEEE Fellows, an excellent microfabrication infrastructure, electrical and physical characterization facilities, and a strong international academic and industrial network, the department is well equipped to conduct world-leading research. Microelectronics is a multi-disciplinary research field, involving innovative combinations of the physics, material science and chemistry required to make devices work. It is also multi-disciplinary with regard to its wide variety of applications, as it plays a crucial role in all fields of innovation, ranging from advanced healthcare to telecommunications and smart grids. The ever-increasing demand for processing power, sensing capabilities and miniaturisation makes microelectronics a highly innovative research field.

ME’s research is a major contributor to the following EEMCS research themes:

• Health and Wellbeing
• XG - Next Generation Sensing and communication
• Autonomous Systems
