Tyndall National Institute, University College, Cork – Permanent Whole Time Post
Position Overview
We are seeking a senior lecturer (or lecturer) in the area of piezoelectric Microsystems to be appointed in the School of Engineering in collaboration with Tyndall National Institute.
The incumbent will contribute to UCC Futures – Quantum and Photonics and play a key role in delivering high-quality engineering education and cutting-edge research in microsystems/MEMS based on piezoelectric thin films and substrates.
Scope & Responsibilities
Lead and coordinate microsystems/MEMS activity across the School of Engineering, the Tyndall National Institute, and related research centres.
Develop and lead a new research programme in semiconductor and microsystems technologies based on piezoelectric films and substrates with clear potential for collaboration with existing groups and external partners.
Explore collaboration opportunities with industry and support heterogeneous integration of microsystems components into functional circuits.
Deliver undergraduate and graduate teaching within a broader microsystems/electronics theme.
Candidate Profile
PhD level research experience and expertise in the design/fabrication of semiconductor technologies for microsystems/MEMS devices based on piezoelectric thin films or substrates.
Expertise in the application of these microsystems in RF filter circuits or other RF components for reconfigurable RF front-ends in 5G/6G communication systems.
Interest in extending piezoelectric microsystems to areas such as power transformers, optical-acoustics, or PMUT for biomedical imaging is desirable.
Strong track record of delivering innovative research outcomes at the cutting edge of the field.
Capacity to develop exciting research ideas and lead independent research aligned with UCC Futures – Quantum and Photonics.
