TÜBİTAK announces 660 vacancies to bolster Turkish research
The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK) has announced a comprehensive recruitment campaign to hire 660 new employees at its units in Ankara, Kocaeli, and Bursa.
This initiative underscores Türkiye' s commitment to strengthening national research and technological development, and will contribute to expanding the country' s capacity in science and innovation.
TÜBİTAK, a key state institution, is seeking personnel for various roles.
The application deadlines for the new positions are set for 7 and 22 September, respectively.
The recruitment is aimed at meeting the requirements of research centres and institutes that are strategically located in key industrial and research regions in Türkiye. As Türkiye’s leading organisation for scientific and technological research, TÜBİTAK plays a crucial role in the country’s innovation ecosystem.
The institution supports and conducts a wide range of research and development projects, from basic research to applied technology in fields such as defence, aerospace, artificial intelligence, energy, and materials science.
The organisation acts as a catalyst for technological independence and economic growth.
Hiring 660 new staff members represents a significant investment in Türkiye' s future technological capacity.
This will strengthen TÜBİTAK in driving national projects, promoting international collaboration, and developing the critical expertise necessary for Türkiye’s strategic goals.
The increase in personnel may also indicate an expansion of existing programmes or the initiation of new projects within nationally important technology fields. This workforce expansion will not only help maintain the country' s competitiveness but also create high-quality jobs for Turkish researchers and engineers.
By investing in skills development and research, Türkiye aims to reduce its reliance on foreign technology and instead become a leading player within specific technological niches, which is also of relevance to international partners such as NATO and the EU.
