We are looking for a world-class academic leader in micro/nanofabrication. We expect you to develop micro/nanofabrication processes towards new functional materials and devices, and possess a clear vision of how to utilize the Micronova cleanroom facilities in your research. A modern experimental profile with knowledge on state-of-the-art micro/nanofabrication techniques and processes is valued. You will utilize techniques such as wafer engineering, patterning, thin film deposition, and surface preparation towards applications such as integrated circuits, microsensors, microfluidics, solar cells, flat-panel displays, or optoelectronics. The focus is on processing of wafers and other macroscopic substrates (e.g. glass, polymers) rather than e.g. nanoparticles.
As a professor, we expect you to establish a high-level research group in microfabrication. You will utilize the research facilities of the Micronova cleanroom infrastructure and contribute to their development. We appreciate research directions that are linked to the Department’s strategic research areas mentioned above and commitment to close collaboration with other research groups within Aalto University, as well as with industry.
We value commitment to high-level teaching and we expect you to have previous teaching experience. You will be teaching at the B.Sc., M.Sc. and doctoral levels on topics related to microfabrication and materials science. The teaching load in materials science is shared with four professors and three lecturers. Typically, teaching accounts for 25–30% of working time.
A doctoral degree in materials science, materials chemistry, applied physics, or in a related field is a prerequisite for the position. Proven ability to obtain external funding and experience of researcher supervision is required. Industrial collaborations are considered as a merit.
