James Watt School of Engineering

Salary: Grade 6/7, £33,482 - £37,194 / £40,497 - £45,413 per annum 

This post is full time and has funding for up to 1 year. 

The James Watt School of Engineering is looking for a Research Assistant/Associate to contribute to/make a leading contribution to a project focused on developing advanced microfluidic platforms for high throughput screening and sorting of cells and droplets, aimed at discovering cells and biomolecules of novel function. This platform will serve as a versatile tool for a wide range of applications in synthetic biology, drug discovery and early diagnosis. The work will involve developing a fluidic, acoustic, or dielectrophoresis approach for fluid handling, with sample detection enabled via various optical methods (e.g. fluorescence, Raman). Instrument control and automation of the process are essential components of the system. 

Applicants should have a background in engineering, physics, physical sciences or micro-analytical systems. The successful candidate will work with Professor Huabing Yin (Principal Investigator) and a team of academic and industrial partners. They will benefit from the established expertise of Yin’s group in Raman activated cell sorting. 

For informal discussions about the role, please contact Professor Huabing Yin, (Huabing.Yin@glasgow.ac.uk)
