Assistant Professor of Electronic Engineering

Within the faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Computer Science (EEMCS), the research group BIOS, Lab on a chip group is looking for a highly motivated, enthusiastic Assistant Professor (f/m) focusing on lab on chip systems.

The BIOS lab on a chip group is embedded in the MESA+ technical medical centre institutes, as well as the Max Planck Center for Complex Fluid Dynamics. In this group, the aim is at understanding and utilizing new micro- and nanofluidic phenomena and new nanosensing principles and incorporating these in Lab on a Chip and Organ on Chip systems for biomedical and sustainability applications. It is our mission to:

• further the knowledge and understanding of nanofluidics and nanosensing, with a focus on physico/electrochemical aspects
• investigate new sensing concepts including quantumsensing using nanofabricated structures and devices
• bridge the gap between nanotechnologists and Lab-on-Chip users from physical, chemical, medical and life-sciences 
• translate new knowledge and technologies to medical and sustainable applications to have societal impact

• You hold a PhD in biomedical engineering, nanotechnology, applied physics, electrical engineering or material sciences promoted on a relevant topic in lab on a chip, microfabrication, (bio)sensors in microfluidic systems, organ-on-chip and/or signal analysis
• You have proven expertise in the development of microfluidic systems, microfabrication and/or rapid prototyping, know how to work in a biological lab and you have experience in working in a multidisciplinary environment.
• You have excellent communication skills and experience with academic teaching.
• You are a great teammate, but also have a high degree of responsibility and independence.

The faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) comprises three disciplines that shape Information and Communication Technology. ICT is more than communication. In almost every product we use mathematics, electronics and computer technology and ICT now contributes to all of societies' activities. The faculty works together intensively with industrial partners and researchers in the Netherlands and abroad and conducts extensive research for external commissioning parties and funders. The research which enjoys a high profile both at home and internationally, has been accommodated in the multidisciplinary research institutes: Mesa+ Institute, TechMed Centra and Digital Society Institute.
