Postdoctoral Researcher - Micro-fabrication, MEMS & Heterogeneous Integration for Advanced Semiconductor Cooling
Barcelona, Spain (UAB Campus)
Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC)
Start date: December 2026 – January 2027
Full-time | Postdoctoral Position

The Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC) is the largest Spanish research institute dedicated to Micro and Nanotechnologies, Micro-systems, Semiconductor Technologies and Integrated Systems. Recognized as a María de Maeztu Unit of Excellence, IMB-CNM hosts Spain’s largest clean room facilities and develops cutting-edge technologies for science and industry.
We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Researcher in Micro-fabrication and Heterogeneous Integration to lead the development of advanced micro-channel cooling technologies for next-generation radiation detectors, semiconductor devices, and high-performance computing (HPC) systems.
This role offers a unique opportunity to bridge micro-fabrication, MEMS technologies, advanced packaging, thermal management,



silicon inter-posers and 3D integration within an internationally collaborative research environment.

About the Project
The project focuses on developing innovative technological solutions to integrate micro-channel cooling into semiconductor platforms through:
✅ Silicon interposers with embedded micro-channels
✅ Heterogeneous integration technologies
✅ Redistribution Layers (RDL)
✅ Through-Silicon Vias (TSVs)
✅ Wafer bonding and advanced packaging processes
✅ Monolithic integration with radiation detectors

The resulting technologies will support applications in:
Particle Physics Instrumentation
Photon Science and Free Electron Lasers
High-Performance Computing (HPC) Cooling
Future Semiconductor and Heterogeneous Integration Systems

Your Role
As the Technical Lead for prototype development, you will coordinate the design, fabrication, integration and validation of advanced micro-fabricated devices.
