Job description

We’re at present seeking to fill a postdoctoral candidate positions as part of the Dutch Analysis Council (NWO) funded venture by means of Good Trade 2019. The primary objective of the post-doc venture shall be to develop versatile pressure sensors and 3D printed polymer MEMS circulate sensors.
We’re on the lookout for a extremely motivated and unbiased Postdoctoral candidate with a background in versatile electronics and MEMS, with a willingness to work in an interdisciplinary surroundings. Throughout your Publish-doc, you’ll work along with our vibrant interdisciplinary workforce, which consists of enthusiastic PhDs, and Publish-docs with backgrounds in MEMS, digital supplies, versatile electronics, biomimetics, sensor know-how and biomedical sensors.

Job description
The postdoctoral candidate will conduct analysis within the subject of versatile &wearable digital units, 3D printed MEMS sensors, and purposes of MEMS circulate sensors. The candidate is predicted to conduct analysis associated to versatile sensors, versatile smooth polymer MEMS and real-life purposes of MEMS. It consists of the embedding of such methods in a MEMS gadget, thus taking a electromechanical design and testing perspective, and offers with analysis actions on 3D printed MEMS, inkjet printed electronics and versatile electronics.

Particularly, you’ll:

• design and conduct non-clean room based mostly fabrications of MEMS sensors by means of micro-projection stereolithography (µ-pSLA) approach
• discover 3D printing as a way to manufacture novel purposeful materials based mostly sensing parts
• develop wearable sensors for motion and wearable EMG, electrochemical sweat sensors to detect important physique parameters
• develop piezoresistive and piezocapacitive versatile digital sensors
• examine the sensing rules of novel 2D sensing supplies equivalent to electrospun carbon nanofibers, Graphene, and polymer piezoelectrics for MEMS/NEMS purposes.
• embed such micro/nano sensors in sensing methods for numerous purposes.

Organisation
Since its basis in 1614, the College of Groningen has loved a world status as a dynamic and revolutionary centre of upper training providing high-quality educating and analysis. Balanced research and profession paths in all kinds of disciplines encourage at present greater than 34,000 college students and researchers to develop their very own particular person abilities. Belonging to one of the best analysis universities in Europe and the highest 100 universities on the earth (see our rating: http://www.rug.nl/(…)do-we-stand/rankings , the College of Groningen is really a world place of data. Inside the College of Science and Engineering (FSE), the Engineering and Know-how institute Groningen (ENTEG) conducts engineering science analysis and covers a broad space of mechanical engineering, digital supplies and MEMS, nanotechnology, management engineering, supplies engineering.
