Offer Description

Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) now offers a new fellowship program, the CTU Global Postdoc Fellowship. This new and attractive two-year fellowship-program offers excellent researchers who have recently completed their PhD the chance to continue their research career at CTU. Fellows receive a two year fellowship and become members of a team led by a mentor. The fellowship aims at external international scientists who are currently conducting research abroad. Applicants must have completed their PhD within the last seven years. The fellowship aims at authors (co-authors) of three or more publications in a journal with IF. 

Magnetic position, speed and electric current sensors are popular for industrial, automotive, aerospace, security, and defense applications. They are cheap, reliable, rugged, and durable and they are resistant to dust and dirt. Their disadvantage is in general low accuracy (with the exception of LVDTs, which reached 0.1 % accuracy), slow response and sensitivity to external magnetic fields.

Gradual improvement and optimization of classical magnetic position sensors by engineering development and applied research reached its limit. Only fundamental research can bring a breakthrough.

The candidate is expected to develop new design methods and new sensor principles, use novel materials and devices to open the path towards substantially higher precision, speed of response, resistance to external magnetic fields and lower power consumption.

He will develop novel semi-analytic methods allowing fast parametric modelling and design of magnetic position sensors and design new types of magnetic position sensors using

(b)          amorphous and nanocrystalline materials,

(c)           fluxgate, TMR, and 3-D MEMS Hall sensors
