The role
We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to take strain-engineered 2D materials from fundamental results towards sensing technologies. The researcher will review the available materials and concepts, identify the most promising ones for sensing applications and, in close collaboration with the technology centre Tekniker, bring them to a proof-of-concept sensing prototype. The position therefore sits at the interface between fundamental science and technology transfer.
This postdoctoral position is to work on the Ibilbideak-Itsasargiak 2026 2D-QUEST project, funded by the Basque Government. The project ends 31/12/2028.
About BCMaterials
BCMaterials, the Basque Center on Materials, Applications and Nanostructures, is an autonomous materials research center launched in June 2012 by Ikerbasque and the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). It is part of the BERC (Basque Excellence Research Centers) network and counts 131 researchers (105 staff researchers plus 26 associates), with 241 Scopus indexed publications in 2025 and around 5,800,000 € in funding, 99% of it competitive.
The center generates knowledge on the new generation of smart, active and multifunctional materials and turns it into (multi)functional solutions and devices for the benefit of society. Its strategic areas cover environmental prevention, remediation and monitoring; energy generation and storage; digitalization and emerging technologies such as sensors and actuators for the Internet of Things and Industry 4.0; and biomedicine and biotechnology, including nanoparticle-based solutions and organ-on-a-chip approaches.
