Post-doc in Flexible electronics and MEMS

University of Groningen

Post-doc in Flexible electronics and MEMS (V23.0757) Job description

We are currently looking to fill a postdoctoral candidate positions as a part of the Dutch Research Council (NWO) funded project through Smart Industry 2019. The main goal of the post-doc project will be to develop flexible strain sensors and 3D printed polymer MEMS flow sensors. We are looking for a highly motivated and independent Postdoctoral candidate with a background in flexible electronics and MEMS, with a willingness to work in an interdisciplinary environment. During your Post-doc, you will work together with our vibrant interdisciplinary team, which consists of enthusiastic PhDs, and Post-docs with backgrounds in MEMS, electronic materials, flexible electronics, biomimetics, sensor technology and biomedical sensors.

Job description The postdoctoral candidate will conduct research in the field of flexible &wearable electronic devices, 3D printed MEMS sensors, and applications of MEMS flow sensors. The candidate is expected to conduct research related to flexible sensors, flexible soft polymer MEMS and real-life applications of MEMS. It includes the embedding of such systems in a MEMS device, thus taking a electromechanical design and testing perspective, and deals with research activities on 3D printed MEMS, inkjet printed electronics and flexible electronics.

In particular, you will:

• design and conduct non-clean room based fabrications of MEMS sensors through micro-projection stereolithography (µ-pSLA) technique • explore 3D printing as a method to fabricate novel functional material based sensing elements • develop wearable sensors for movement and wearable EMG, electrochemical sweat sensors to detect vital body parameters • develop piezoresistive and piezocapacitive flexible electronic sensors • investigate the sensing principles of novel 2D sensing materials such as electrospun carbon nanofibers, Graphene, and polymer piezoelectrics for MEMS/NEMS applications. • embed such micro/nano sensors in sensing systems for various applications.

Organisation Since its foundation in 1614, the University of Groningen has enjoyed an international reputation as a dynamic and innovative centre of higher education offering high-quality teaching and research. Balanced study and career paths in a wide variety of disciplines encourage currently more than 34,000 students and researchers to develop their own individual talents. Belonging to the best research universities in Europe and the top 100 universities in the world (see our ranking: https:// www. rug.nl/about-us/where- do-we-stand/rankings, the University of Groningen is truly an international place of knowledge. Within the Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE), the Engineering and Technology institute Groningen (ENTEG) conducts engineering science research and covers a broad area of mechanical engineering, electronic materials and MEMS, nanotechnology, control engineering, materials engineering.

This current Post-doc project are a collaborative project between the Bioinspired MEMS and Biomedical Devices (BMBD) and the Discrete Technology and Production Automation (DTPA) research units within ENTEG. The MEMS research thrust within BMBD research group chaired by Dr Ajay G.P. Kottapalli focuses on the development of advanced micro/nano technologies to develop state-of-the-art MEMS/NEMS sensors and systems, biomimetic MEMS/NEMS, wearable sensors, 3D printing and additive manufacturing for novel MEMS sensors, and sensors for biomedical /clinical /healthcare monitoring applications. ng, and (bio)-chemical engineering.

Qualifications

• have at least a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or another related engineering education • work experience with an experimental background in polymer MEMS (design and fabrication) or flexible electronics (candidates with a background only in computations and simulations are not eligible) • experience with experimental sensor fabrication equipment and techniques such as inkjet printing, 3D printing, 3D printed electronics, electroprinting, electrospinning, aerosol jet printing • experience with MEMS fabrication process flows in a cleanroom is a plus • experience in material and electromechanical characterization tools such as SEM, nanoindenter, tension/compression testers • experience with Matlab, CAD/CAM, COMSOL and finite element analysis is beneficial • excellent research qualities, as evidenced by a publication record in international peer-reviewed journals and renowned conferences, and a relevant international network • a dynamic, creative and pioneering professional attitude • ability to work independently and with colleagues • a problem solving ability • cross-cultural sensitivity and strong communication skills • able to communicate and teach in English, and Dutch is an advantage.

The application should include:

• CV which includes a full list of publications • motivation letter (1 page) • research statement (1-2 Pages) • copy of the PhD diploma or estimated time of graduation • contact details of 3 academic references.
