About this position
King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow in Acoustic Nanofiber Sensors within its Physical Science and Engineering / Materials Science and Engineering environment in Thuwal, Saudi Arabia.
The project focuses on translational research for next-generation, large-area nanofiber acoustic sensor platforms for structural health monitoring. The successful candidate will work in a transdisciplinary setting to develop nanofiber materials, fabricate devices, and build and test sensor prototypes. Core technical areas include acoustic sensing, data acquisition, microfabrication, electromechanical/electrical/optical characterization, and broader device and materials characterization.
Applicants should hold a PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related discipline. Strong cleanroom and microfabrication experience is requested, along with experience in acoustic sensors or related research, characterization of composite films and nanofibers, and hands-on electronics knowledge with attention to safety. The position also emphasizes the ability to work both independently and collaboratively across disciplines.
Application materials include a CV, cover letter, three representative publications, official PhD transcripts, and contact information for three academic or industry references. The deadline is 2026-11-17. Applications are submitted online via Interfolio.
