SUNUM is a Nanotechnology Research and Application Centre hosted by Sabancı University, Istanbul, Turkey. It is one of four Centers in the country that have recently been granted a special endorsement by the Turkish Ministry of Development as a National Research Centre of Excellence.
Its research focus is the intersection of four vertical thematic areas; namely, Life Sciences, Energy, Food & Agriculture, Water & Environment with the horizontal theme of Nanomaterials and Nanosystems.
SUNUM's mission is to excel as a Centre of Excellence for multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary Nanotechnology research and development studies, offering global nano-technological solutions to societal challenges, creating socio-economic added-value through commercialisation of research results by exploiting synergies and long-term strategic partnerships with stakeholders while contributing to the training of high caliber researchers.
We are looking for “Researchers in Nanoelectronics, Sensors, and Flexible Electronics for Healthcare and IoT Applications” with the following qualifications to work in SUNUM.
Job Description
Sensor Design & Fabrication: Design and develop advanced sensor systems (e-noses, flexible circuits, membrane-based sensors) using techniques like photolithography, e-beam lithography, deposition, and printing.
Material Development: Develop and integrate cutting-edge materials (e.g., 2D materials, quantum dots) to enhance sensor sensitivity, selectivity, and low-power consumption. Create hybrid materials for wearable healthcare applications.
Characterization & Testing: Characterize sensor properties (electrical, mechanical, optical, thermal) and perform tests to evaluate selectivity, sensitivity, and stability.
Energy Harvesting & Wireless Communication: Design sensors for battery-free operation using RF energy harvesting and enhance wireless communication capabilities (NFC/RFID) for data transmission.
Circuit Design & Prototyping: Conduct research on flexible electronic circuits and e-textiles for IoT systems and wearable applications. Perform simulations and experimental evaluations to ensure circuit reliability.
Data Acquisition & Interface Development: Implement data acquisition methods (ADC) and develop user-friendly interfaces (e.g., mobile apps, PC software) for sensor interaction and data visualization.
Collaboration & Documentation: Collaborate with international partners (University of Southampton, TU-Delft) to integrate material and device innovations. Maintain detailed experimental records, contribute to project reports, and publish research findings.
About the Project
The TeamNANO project, a prestigious collaboration between SUNUM, TU-Delft, and the University of Southampton, focuses on the development of next-generation nanoelectronics, flexible electronics, and sensor technologies. Supported by the European Commission, TÜBİTAK and Türkiye’s Ministry of Industry and Technology, this project aims to transform cutting-edge scientific advancements into impactful technologies with broad applications in healthcare, environmental monitoring, and IoT systems.
As part of this collaborative initiative, we are working on developing advanced sensor technologies, including bioelectronics, flexible circuits, and nanoelectronic devices, with a particular focus on applications in healthcare and industrial efficiency. Researchers will contribute to designing, prototyping, and testing cutting-edge devices such as e-noses, flexible sensors, and wireless communication systems.
Role Overview
We are seeking highly motivated researchers in the fields of nanoelectronics, flexible electronics, and sensor technologies, with a particular focus on healthcare and IoT applications. The role involves working on the design, fabrication, and characterization of advanced sensors, wearable devices, and flexible electronics, contributing to the development of energy-efficient systems for health monitoring, diagnostics, and environmental sensing.
Candidates will work with state-of-the-art materials such as 2D materials, quantum dots, and conductive nanocomposites, alongside advanced fabrication techniques like photolithography, e-beam lithography, and thin-film deposition. Researchers will also contribute to the integration of sensors with wireless communication systems (e.g., NFC/RFID) and energy harvesting technologies for battery-free operation.
