About this position
This 12-month research opportunity is based at the Centre of Microelectronics within the Flexible Electronics Department (FEL) at Ecole nationale supérieure des mines de Saint-Etienne. The project sits in the field of stretchable electronics and optical sensing, with a clear application to artificial skin demonstrators.
The appointed researcher will contribute to the development of stretchable optical waveguides and their integration into soft, skin-like sensing systems. The work combines optical components such as LEDs and photodiodes with elastomer-based structures to create devices capable of responding to pressure and temperature. The project aims to demonstrate new soft optical sensing functions that go beyond what conventional electronic approaches can achieve.
The research takes place in a department with strong expertise in material and interface electrical and mechanical characterization and access to a substantial technological platform for R&D in micropackaging and micro/nano-electronics. Laboratory work is central to the role, and part of the experimental activity will be carried out in the clean room facilities available on site.
The advertised work is embedded in a European collaboration involving several partners across Europe, including ETH Zurich, the University of Oxford, Johannes Kepler University Linz, and EMPA. A related publication cited in the advert highlights the broader scientific context of optical, pressure-sensitive artificial skin.

What's required
The post is open to a Postdoctoral Researcher or Research Engineer. Good knowledge of Python is important for operating and further developing the test benches, and hands-on laboratory work is essential, including work partly in the clean room facility. The advert does not specify degree classification, language tests, or other formal entry thresholds.
