Marie Sklodowska-Curie Early Stage Researcher in the Development of Anti‐biofilm Coatings with Microscale Anti-adhesion Patterns
About the role
Please note, candidates applying for this post should not already hold a PhD
The Department of Chemical Engineering is seeking a Research Assistant (Early Career Researcher, ECR) to work on the development and functional characterisation of nano/micropatterned antimicrobial coatings onto planar and curved surfaces, towards their application to catheters and cardiovascular devices. The post is integrated within the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Doctoral Network (MSCA-DN) iSTRIDE.
What you would be doing
You will develop and characterise novel biocompatible nano/micropatterned antimicrobial coatings onto planar and curved surfaces; examine process requirements to fabricate functional topographies onto model devices relevant for IDAIs, and correlate with their antimicrobial action.
What we are looking for
- MRes, MSc, or equivalent degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, Materials, Mechanical Engineering, or closely related discipline
- Experience in soft materials, patterning, and of a broad range of physical-chemistry techniques (including AFM, profilometry, lithography, etc).
- Practical experience within a research environment and / or publication in relevant and refereed journals
- Experience of working in a multidisciplinary team
