Our graduate engineers and scientists – drawn from over 30 different European countries – work at the cutting edge of technology, examining the latest inventions in every technical field in order to protect and promote innovation in Europe. If you have a degree in physics, chemistry, engineering or the natural sciences, and an excellent knowledge of one of the Office‘s three official languages (English, French and German) and the ability to understand the other two, you too could be part of our team of patent examiners in Munich, The Hague and Berlin.

The department is looking for excellent candidates who are dedicated to pursuing leading‐edge fundamental or applied research. The present call for applications covers all areas that fall within the scope of Electronics Research field of Department of Electronics. Special consideration will be given to candidates who represent research fields that complement and support the current research interests of the department. In addition, Department of Electronics has significant funding base from external sources, such as Academy of Finland and Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation (TEKES), and therefore the applicants should have skills and potential to productively communicate with funding agencies and industrial companies. Department of Electronics has wide international collaboration network and the applicants are expected to show factual examples of productive international collaboration they have carried out.

The successful candidate will join the team of research and system engineers at PDC responsible for designing, developing and operating a scientific computing environment that strives to be second to none. Depending on the profile of the applicant the positions can be combined with research and development projects.

The overall goal is to evaluate the use of SiC devices in power converters for various applications such as industrial drives, motor control, welding, battery charging, power supplies, generation, distribution and conditioning of electrical energy.

Candidates must be in possession of a doctorate degree and a minimum of 1-2 years of full time equivalent research experience. We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual with a strong background on Green routes to synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials, with a special focus on supercritical fluid synthesis process. The candidate should have demonstrated experience on studying nanomaterials fabrication strategies, interface chemistry and preferably simulation of experiments. Publication record in international journals and conferences is required as well as excellent skills in spoken and written English. Evaluation will be based on the scientific quality of the candidate and publication record, for the required specialty, in accordance with the needs of the project.

The aim of the project is to develop new technologies for electrical detection of biomarkers by using functionalized nanostructures in silicon. Biomolecule sensing is performed using nanowires, defined by lithography, on a silicon chip having microfluidic channels for liquid sample introduction. For functionalization we are closely collaborating with a group at the Biotechnology school. The position involves electrical characterization of the nanowires, atomic force microscopy and fluorescence characterization of the functionalized chip, performing electrical detection experiments as well as optimization of detection schemes including data analysis.

Your employment responsibilities will consist of research and teaching. The academic program offers a broad energy technology spectrum with a focus on wind power. You will be involved in development and implementation of course curriculum including some administration. You are expected to contribute to research development by seeking external funding.

KTH School of Information and Communication Technology seeks a Ph D student in E-O polymers-based photonic components: materials, fabrication and characterization

The successful applicant is expected to have a doctoral degree in physics, materials science, electrical engineering (towards microelectronics) or in a related subject. Experience from silicon nanostructures, cleanroom processing and characterization techniques such as AFM and PL microscopy is highly regarded. The applicant should have good communication skills and be good at presenting both orally and in writing.

The objective of the chair of Integral Hydraulic Engineering is to enhance the knowledge related to hydraulic structures and to contribute to the dissemination of such knowledge. Hydraulic structures are structures built to defend land against floods and droughts, to regulate water for agriculture and industry, to provide infrastructure for waterborne and water-related transport and to make use of water as a source of energy. The complexity and uniqueness of hydraulic structures, together with the uncertainties in loads and resistance, require a conceptual and integral approach to optimise the design of these structures. This offers a new perspective involving sustainability, ecodesign, multidisciplinary use of space, adaptability, life cycle management, scale enlargement and the application of new materials and shapes. The advancement of probabilistic design methods is required to develop reliability methods for the design and maintenance of hydraulic structures.
