  • Lead externally funded research projects and supervise team members at various levels (research assistants, postdocs, research associates, and R&D developers).
  • Regularly publish high-quality research findings in peer-reviewed journals, share knowledge internally through seminars and courses, and contribute to the scientific community through tutorials, workshops, and conference presentations.
  • Identify opportunities for technology transfer and industrial collaborations.
  • Support the institute’s goal of translating research into business opportunities.
  • Initiate and participate in the development of demonstrators and prototypes.
  • Contribute to initiatives that support research and innovation at the institute.



Your Profile

  • Ph D degree in a relevant field.
  • Demonstrated ability to conduct independent, innovative research with a significant impact on the field, as evidenced by a strong publication record and community recognition.
  • Proven track record of securing external research funding to support research.
