At Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) , this postdoctoral project explores how biobased, thermally debondable adhesives can support more circular repair, joining, and recycling routes for carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites . The work focuses on the adhesive–composite interface and the way it governs bonding, mechanical integrity, and long-term performance under service conditions. You will investigate how interfacial structure, wetting, and bonding behaviour change under th...

This PhD project at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) focuses on developing novel photonic chips for ultralow-light spectroscopic sensing . The work aims to push spectral analysis to extremely low signal levels, down to femtowatts, so that photonic sensors can detect light emitted by samples rather than only reflected light. The research builds on the group’s recent progress with integrated spectral sensors based on an advanced nanophotonic platform. These low-cost spectral chips, alread...

About this position

This postdoctoral project at the University of Twente focuses on the physics of wafer-to-wafer bonding for future 3D chip integration. The work addresses an important challenge in semiconductor technology: understanding how surface properties and wafer morphology influence bonding quality, rather than relying on empirical optimization alone.

You will develop and validate experimental methods to study wafer bonding in a quantitative, physics-based way. The project combines bonding measurements with advanced surface metrology, with a strong emphasis on building predictive relations between measurable wafer surface properties and bonding performance for next-generation stacked chip architectures.

The position is based in the XUV Optics group, embedded in the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology. The group works on thin films, surfaces, interfaces, and optical materials, and is connected to high-tech applications through close collaboration with industrial partners. You will be part of a research environment that combines hands-on experimentation, data analysis, and physical interpretation.

The MESA+ NanoLab provides extensive cleanroom infrastructure and state-of-the-art tools for materials fabrication, surface analysis, and nanoscale characterization, supporting the experimental nature of the project.

The post is research-intensive and industrially relevant, centered on quantitative study of bonding mechanisms for advanced semiconductor integration.

Funding details

Gross salary between €3,706 and €5,760 per month depending on experience and qualifications, plus 8% holiday allowance, 8.3% year-end bonus, and pension scheme.

What's required

A PhD degree in materials science, surface science, applied physics, physical chemistry, nanotechnology, mechanical engineering, or a related field is required. Candidates should have experience with experimental research on surfaces, interfaces, thin films, wafer processing, adhesion, or semiconductor-related materials, and be familiar with one or more characterization techniques such as AFM, WLI, contact-angle measurements, XPS, FTIR, infrared metrology, ellipsometry, or related surface-analysis methods. Applicants should be interested in connecting experimental results to physical models and quantitative data analysis, enjoy hands-on experimental work with advanced laboratory equipment, work independently with a creative mindset, and have good team spirit for interdisciplinary collaboration with academic and industrial partners. Proficiency in English is required, with the ability to communicate clearly in meetings, reports, and scientific publications. Proof of English proficiency (IELTS or TOEFL) is requested if available.

How to apply

Apply via the 'Apply now' button on the AcademicTransfer page before 2026-11-17. Include a cover letter, CV with courses/grades and any publications/references, proof of English proficiency if available, and contact details for two references.
