Biosensor R&D Engineer

The Opportunity:

The School of Biomedical Engineering has a long history in, and is internationally recognised for, successfully developing integrated circuits for medical and scientific applications. The Biosensor R&D Engineer works with a team of academics, engineers (including industry collaborators), and postgraduate students, on research, development and testing of implantable electronics for biosensing.

The project is part of an ongoing multi-national R&D programme aiming to develop next-gen, implantable bioelectronics. This role will contribute towards our efforts in creating biosensors for measuring vital health parameters in vivo, such as concentrations of glucose, lactate and various ions. These chemical biosensors are intended to be functionalized on implants, to perform long-term, clinically reliable measurements. Working as a member of our R&D team, the successful candidate will provide technical expertise, hands-on biosensor design, laboratory characterisations, and on-going refinements, to help our team in building better implantable sensors. The successful candidate will also take the initiative in resolving biosensor reliability, stability, and reproducibility concerns.
