About this position
A postdoctoral researcher position is available at Istanbul Technical University (ITU), Türkiye, across the Faculty of Textile Technologies and Design and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
The project focuses on smart textile systems for healthcare under the Horizon Europe STAND project, with a specific application in textile-based sensing technologies for the prevention and monitoring of diabetic foot complications.
The successful candidate will work with Assoc. Prof. Dr. İkilem Göcek, Prof. Dr. Cevza Candan, and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Merve Acer Kalafat. Research tasks include designing and developing functional and composite yarn structures with sensing capability, engineering textile architectures that integrate conductive, dielectric, and elastic yarn components, and integrating sensory yarns into knitted sock prototypes for pressure, temperature, and humidity monitoring.
The role also includes textile, mechanical, electrical, and morphological characterisation, as well as durability, washability, wearability, and comfort evaluations. The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to publications and project deliverables.
This is a postdoctoral opening, with an initial 12-month appointment and the possibility of extension. The start date is December 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.
To apply, send a CV, a cover letter describing your research interests and suitability, a list of publications, and contact information for at least two academic referees (an additional industry or research and technology organisation referee is encouraged for applicants with relevant experience) to the listed ITU email addresses.
