OPEN POSITIONS
Research and job opportunities from YMF, YMF's partners and research labs at York are posted in here. This information will be frequently updated. Should you be interested in any opportunities, please directly send you application to the contact under each description.
Printed Electronics (PhD/ Master’s)
Description
This position will study advanced techniques for the fabrication of large-area electronics. The student will study fabrication methods to deposit and optimize electronic materials for large-area electronic devices such as sensors or transistors. They will work with a combination of inkjet printing, extrusion printing, laser-induced graphene, intense pulsed light sintering, or fused-filament fabrication. The project is interdisciplinary and strong candidates with a background in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, and related fields are encouraged to apply. Research experience with printed electronics, solution-processed materials, microfabrication, additive manufacturing, or material characterization are an asset but not required.
Applicants also have the opportunity to apply to the CREATE-Microsystems Technologies & Application (MTA) training program, which offers specialized training, networking, internships, funding, and more. See details here: https://www.yorku.ca/research/project/mta/

Machine learning for additive manufacturing or electronics (Master’s)
Description
This position lies at the intersection of machine learning and additive manufacturing of electronic devices such as sensors or transistors. The goal is to use a data-driven approach to learn relationships between processing parameters and outcomes such as material or device properties and use this for design. The ideal candidate has a background in both machine learning and Electrical Engineering/Materials Science/Mechanical Engineering/related fields. Strong candidates with experience in either area and an interest to learn about the other area will also be considered. Strong programming skills are required.
