Early Stage Researcher Fellowship in Biosensors

Profile

Description:
Based in the Faculty of Science and Engineering, the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics is a friendly, creative and inspiring place to study and covers the subject areas of civil and coastal engineering, computing, electrical and electronic engineering and robotics, mathematical sciences, mechanical, marine and materials engineering, and navigation and maritime science. With many internationally recognised experts, our teaching staff are passionate about providing an innovative and inspiring learning experience. The School hosts the Marine Building, home to the world-class Coastal, Ocean and Sediment Transport (COAST) Laboratory, amongst many other facilities. The School is a collaborative and interdisciplinary community of world-leading academics and researchers focused upon the creation of knowledge and innovative solutions that have a positive impact upon society. We have an extensive portfolio of research from offshore renewable energy, coastal engineering and robotics to cybersecurity, nanomaterials and devices, artificial intelligence, and data science. The School holds an Athena SWAN Bronze award demonstrating the University’s ongoing commitment to advancing gender equality and success for all. CombiDiag (Peripheral Biomarker Based Combinatorial Early Diagnostics for Dementia) is an international doctoral network funded mainly under Horizon Europe Marie Sknodowska-Curie Actions to train Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs). It brings together leading academic and industrial experts in Europe and worldwide, and builds a triple-i (interdisciplinary, intersectoral and international) research & training platform with the required multidisciplinary expertise and cutting-edge technologies for the development of peripheral biomarker based combinatorial early diagnostics for dementia. We are looking for a highly motivated and committed candidate to participate in this innovative research and training programme. The Research Fellow will be funded by UK Research and Innovation and will work alongside the other ESRs in the CombiDiag network. You will be based in the Wolfson Nanomaterials and Devices Laboratory at Plymouth, which is a cleanroom-based lab equipped with state-of-the-art fabrication and characterization facilities. The primary aim of this project is to develop multiplex graphene biosensors for the detection of peripheral AD biomarkers for point of care applications in early-stage AD diagnostics. You will be working on the development of graphene biosensors alongside with other researchers, having several secondment opportunities with partner institutions and attending a series of training events of the CombiDiag network over the three-year period. You will be expected to register as a staff candidate PhD student at the University of Plymouth on satisfying the enrollment criteria of the Doctoral College. Requirement & eligibility: Qualifications First degree with a minimum of 2.1 honors in a relevant field (e.g. biology, biochemistry, electronics, physics, or related discipline). A Master degree or PhD level research experience would be particularly welcome. Mobility rule at the time of recruitment, researchers must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of their host organisation (UK) for more than 12 months in the last 3 years. Early stage researcher rule Candidates for ESR positions are expected to have less than 4 years of full-time equivalent research experience at the selection time and have not been awarded a doctoral degree. Please demonstrate how you meet the essential criteria outlined in the knowledge, qualifications, training and experience elements of the job description in your supporting statement. This is a full-time position working 37 hours per week for 36 months on a fixed-term contract of three years starting 1st February 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter. Flexible working options including job share will be considered. For an Informal discussion please contact Professor Genhua Pan at **** or Dr Yinghui Wei at ****. Please note, CV’s and applications received by mail or e-mail will not be considered. Interviews are likely to take place week commencing Monday 14th November 2022 and you will be notified if you have been shortlisted or not. We offer a competitive salary package and a generous pension and holiday scheme. We also offer a range of other benefits, including ongoing development opportunities. The University of Plymouth has a strong interdisciplinary research ethos which is supported by our three strategic Research Institutes; the Marine Institute, the Sustainable Earth Institute, and the Plymouth Institute of Health and Care Research. As a member of our academic community, you’ll be expected to contribute to our recognised research strengths. Working holistically across the University, you will be challenged to innovate, collaborate and deliver impactful research contributions as part of a systems thinking approach to addressing today’s global challenges. The University of Plymouth is a diverse, welcoming community where everyone makes a difference and is encouraged to bring their whole selves to work. To find out more about our inclusive community, initiatives such as Athena Swan and the Race Equality Charter and our range of benefits / support mechanisms such as flexible working, staff networks and enhanced maternity, paternity & adoption leave please visit our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion webpages We particularly welcome applicants from under-represented groups such as BAME/BIPOC and LGBT .
