Assistant/Associate Professor Biochemical Sensors for Autonomous Microsystems Job in Delft, Netherlands

Assistant/Associate Professor Biochemical Sensors for Autonomous Microsystems Job Description

Challenge: Develop sensor systems for climate monitoring and agricultural applications.
Change: Drive high-yield, low-emission food production.
Impact: Climate resilience, precision farming, sustainable agriculture.

Job description
As the world’s population increases and our climate changes, more efficient and sustainable agricultural methods are needed. To accelerate innovation, the large-scale monitoring of key chemical and biological parameters such as CO2, methane and ammonia levels, soil pH, moisture and nutrient levels is crucial. At the TU Delft, you will be working at the forefront of research into robust, low-cost autonomous sensor systems that will integrate everything from sensors, energy scavengers and packaging to interface electronics, microprocessors and wireless communication systems.

As an Assistant/Associate Professor you will conduct scientific research, developing your vision and your scientific domain. You will grow your team to three or four PhD students whom you’ll be supervising to completion. For your research you’ll 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 the Electronic Instrumentation (EI) and Electronic Components, Technology and Materials (ECTM) groups. At EI and ECTM you’ll find a welcoming and open atmosphere. We have a track record of nurturing talent at various academic levels and will give you all the support you need to evolve in your tenure-track position, including a generous start-up package. Sharing a drive to contribute to the fields of sensors, interface electronics and packaging, we are proud of our ground-breaking research. Our world-class facilities include the fully equipped EKL and Kavli Nanolab cleanrooms, as well as dedicated labs for micro-system assembly, biochemical measurements and sensor characterization

 

Assistant/Associate Professor Biochemical Sensors for Autonomous Microsystems Job Requirements

Requirements
You thrive on generating and realising ground-breaking research, which you may demonstrate by e.g., peer-reviewed publications or patents. You’ll leverage your communication skills to connect with colleagues throughout the faculty, helping us to strengthen our faculty as a whole. 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, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, material science or applied physics.
• Demonstrable research experience in one or more relevant fields, such as sensor physics, CMOS-compatible sensors, biochemical sensors, electrochemical sensors, gas sensors, 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 yet tick all the boxes, we’d still really like to get to know you, as you can learn and grow on the job!

Conditions of employment
A tenure-track position is offered for six years. In the fifth year we will 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.
