The School of Physics, Engineering and Technology brings physicists and engineers together to push the frontiers of knowledge, foster innovation and meet the grand challenges facing society. Our aim is to deliver world-leading research in both fundamental and applied areas whilst developing new technologies that work for the public good, in an environment where everyone can thrive.
As a School, equality, diversity, and inclusion are central to our culture and we strive to provide a working environment which allows all staff and students to contribute fully, to flourish, and to excel. We aim to ensure that there is a supportive and egalitarian culture at all levels and across all staff groups and offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, staff engagement forums, campus facilities and services to support staff from different backgrounds. We are proud to hold Juno Champion and Athena Swan bronze awards, which recognise our commitment to creating an equitable and fully inclusive environment in which staff and students can thrive. We aim to inspire young people to engage with science and engineering through our outreach work.
The Healthcare Engineering group is looking to recruit a Research Assistant to join our team. The postholder will collaborate closely with academics within the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology and with our industrial partner, Eluceda, to apply the computational models to a range of photonic and electrochemical biosensors.
We are looking for a Research Assistant working on mathematical models to simulate the biomarker binding in GMR biosensors. This study involves modelling convection, diffusion and binding phenomena in microfluidic channel. This post will involve data collection at the Bioinspired laboratories to develop the model and work closely with the industrial partner, Eluceda, to transfer the model into electrochemical biosensors. As a Research Assistant your main duties will include:
You will have:
