Mustafa Ordu

UNAM Institute of Materials Science and Nanotechnology is advertising a postdoctoral research opportunity with Mustafa Ordu, Assistant Professor and head of the Contemporary Fibers Laboratory. The lab welcomes researchers with experience in optical fibers (visible to THz), piezoelectric/triboelectric structures , wearable technologies , energy harvesting , and sensor technologies . The broader research environment includes fiber-based devices, nanocomposites, nanogenerators, and THz communication-related optical components. This opportunity is connected to the TÜBİTAK 2218 Domestic Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program . The linked TÜBİTAK call states that applications for the 2026 round are open from 2026-07-01 to 2026-08-17 . The post itself asks interested researchers to apply by email with a motivation statement and CV. Ideal candidates are postdoctoral researchers with relevant experimental or device-oriented backgrounds in materials science, physics, electrical engineering, or related fields. The post does not mention a specific stipend amount, but it indicates a funded domestic fellowship framework through TÜBİTAK. To apply, contact Mustafa Ordu directly at [email protected] and include your motivation and CV. More information about the group is available through the laboratory and staff pages linked in the post.

Urgent postdoctoral researcher opening at the Contemporary Fibers Laboratory (CFL), UNAM – Bilkent University, Ankara, Türkiye, in the area of Materials Science , Electrical Engineering , Mechanical Engineering , and Physics . The project is titled 2D-Material–Integrated Polymeric Nanocomposite Fiber–Based Piezoelectric Nanogenerators . The researcher will design, fabricate, and characterize piezoelectric fiber-based nanogenerators; integrate 2D materials such as MXene and graphene; conduct electrical, mechanical, and environmental testing; build wearable-sensor prototypes; and contribute to related side projects including triboelectric and magnetoelastic nanogenerators. The role also includes publication writing, proposal writing, and mentoring. Eligibility is targeted to candidates with a PhD or near completion in Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Applied Physics. Strong hands-on experience in piezoelectric devices/materials or triboelectric systems is required, along with polymer-composite processing and characterization skills and a strong publication record. Experience with 2D materials and wearable sensors is considered an advantage. The appointment is for 18 months plus a 12-month renewal, with a possible third-year extension depending on performance. The post is described as urgent and candidates are expected to start as soon as possible. To apply, email a cover letter and CV including publications and 2–3 referees to [email protected] . The same email can be used for further information.
