Postdoctoral Research Fellow: Materials for Nano and Microrobots Brno University of Technology in Czech Republic

The Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC) at Brno University of Technology is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the Pumera research team, led by Professor Martin Pumera. The position focuses on the development and study of materials for nano and microrobots, with applications in advanced robotics and environmental science. The successful candidate will work in a highly international and English-speaking environment, utilizing state-of-the-art facilities including SEM, TEM, UHV STM, GC/MS, XPS, ALD, and 3D printing systems.

The research will center on materials science and electrochemistry, with an emphasis on energy storage, materials preparation, and characterization. Candidates with experience in the analysis of nano/microrobot motion, and those familiar with microorganisms or microplastics, are especially encouraged to apply. The role requires independent project management, data interpretation, manuscript preparation, and active collaboration within a diverse team. The Pumera group is internationally recognized, with a strong network of collaborators from institutions such as the University of California and partners in Singapore.

Applicants must hold a PhD or equivalent in a relevant field, possess deep knowledge of materials science, and demonstrate hands-on experience with advanced characterization techniques. Excellent English language skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team are essential. The position offers a highly competitive salary, six weeks of holidays, and access to world-class research infrastructure in Brno, Czech Republic.

To apply, candidates should submit a detailed CV (including a list of publications), a cover letter outlining their motivation, and contact details for two academic referees from different institutions. Applications should be sent electronically to [email protected] by April 17th, 2026, quoting 'Material_Micro' in the subject line.
