The sensor platforms will leverage miniaturized, low-cost, and efficient components, utilizing state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques to enable seamless integration into industrial equipment and infrastructure.

The successful candidate is expected to:

• Have strong experience in polymers, molecularly imprinted polymers, and polymer-based nanocomposite synthesis, characterization, and application.
• Demonstrate knowledge and/or experience in sensor processing including design, fabrication, and characterization.
• Conduct research to design, develop, and optimize sensors for industrial applications, including exploring novel sensing technologies, materials, and data analysis techniques.
• Conduct rigorous field testing of developed sensors to ensure sensor accuracy, reliability, and robustness.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, including engineers and data scientists, to integrate sensor technologies into comprehensive industrial systems.
• Maintain detailed records of experimental procedures, results, and observations.
• Prepare technical reports, research papers, and presentations for conferences and scientific publications.
• Contribute to the generation of new research ideas, participate in grant writing activities, and seek external funding opportunities to support ongoing research projects.
• Have a good knowledge of analytical techniques (GC/LC-MS, HPLC, etc.), spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis, FTIR, Raman, NMR, XRD, spectrophotometry, etc.), and microscopy techniques (SEM, TEM, AFM, etc.) necessary for structural and physical-chemical characterization of polymer and polymer-based nanocomposite.
• Proven experience and familiarity with electrochemical techniques necessary for preparation, characterization, and application of polymer and polymer-based nanocomposite: CV, LSV, DPV, SWV, EIS, etc.
• Broad experience in surface modification of inorganic or organic substrates.
• Contribute to the group’s activities in the processing of sustainable materials, (bio)polymer composites and their applications as sensing platforms in related fields.
• Experience in supervising undergraduate, master's and doctoral students.

Criteria of the Candidate:

To be considered for this role, you will ideally have:

• Ph.D. degree in analytical chemistry, polymer science, materials science and engineering or any related field.
• Strong motivation and passion for research in the field of sensors.
• Strong initiative, self-motivated, and focused on achieving quality outputs.
• Good time management and task prioritization skills.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and teamwork skills.
• Ability to work both as part of a team and independently.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills in English.

Application and Selection:

Application folder must contain:

• Detailed CV.
