Research Associate

This post is full time, and has funding for up to 2 years

The James Watt School of Engineering is looking for a Research Associate to make a leading contribution to the Manufacturing Stem Cells for Regenerative Medicine, Immunotherapy and Cancer (MAINSTREAM) research and partnership hub recently funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). The aim of this project is to develop low-cost, high-performance, flexible bioelectronic sensors (e.g., impedance, temperature, and pH sensors) for long-term monitoring of cell culture process, as well as properties of synthetic biomaterials. The job requires expert knowledge in at least one of the following areas:

1) Printed electronics and microfabrication.

2) Design, fabrication, and characterisation of flexible bioelectronic sensors.

Additional expertise in synthetic hydrogel biomaterials and cell culture process are highly desirable. The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to the formulation and submission of research publications and research proposals as well as help manage and direct this complex and challenging project as opportunities allow.

For informal enquiries or further information about the project, please contact Dr. Morteza Amjadi (Morteza.Amjadi@glasgow.ac.uk).
