TÜBİTAK extends application deadline for 660 new positions
The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK) has announced an extension to the application deadline for recruiting 660 new staff members across its various departments.
The deadline has now been set for 5 October, indicating a continuous and significant investment in the nation’s domestic research and development capacity. This recruitment drive forms part of TÜBİTAK’s broader efforts to strengthen Türkiye’s technological independence and innovative capability.
The organisation plays a central role in driving technological progress within strategically important sectors, ranging from defence to aerospace and digital infrastructure. TÜBİTAK is Türkiye’s leading institution for scientific and technological research, established to promote innovation and develop ground-breaking solutions.
The institution is responsible for a range of national projects spanning critical fields such as artificial intelligence, software development, robotics, space technology, and defence.
By hiring 660 new staff members, TÜBİTAK is reinforcing its capacity to push these initiatives forward.
The new positions are distributed across various units and are likely to cover a wide spectrum of expertise requirements, including researchers, engineers, and technical support personnel. This comprehensive recruitment programme underscores Türkiye’s commitment to building a robust knowledge-based economy and positioning itself as a key player in high-tech development, both regionally and globally.
The investment in human capital through this recruitment is essential for Türkiye’s national development goals.
A strengthened research and development base is fundamental to creating new industrial opportunities, increasing the competitiveness of Turkish companies, and reducing reliance on foreign technology.
This contributes directly to growth in key sectors such as defence, energy, and transport, all of which are high priorities for the government. The extension of the application deadline may also be interpreted as a desire to attract the widest possible range of qualified candidates, both from domestic and international environments.
This ensures that TÜBİTAK can continue to act as a driving force for innovation and a catalyst for technological transformation within Türkiye. Source: TRT Haber
