Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom UWE, Bristol Full time

The Centre for Print Research (CFPR) in College of Arts, Technology and Environment (CATE) is seeking to appoint a Post-Doctoral Research Associate to support the EPSRC funded project "Sustainable wearable e-textiles for remote monitoring of atrial fibrillation patients". The project aims to create a radical change in bespoke solution processing and manufacturing of sustainable conductive inks and develop next generation environmentally friendly wearable e-textiles, by addressing fundamental scientific challenges that current technologies are facing.

We are looking for a highly motivated Post-Doctoral Research Associate to join our inter-disciplinary research team to contribute in development of sustainable conductive inks that can be inkjet-printed onto surface engineered biodegradable textile substrate. The successful candidate will also be required to integrate printed wearable sensors to collect ECG data remotely in a non-invasive way and evaluate the performance. The successful candidate will carry out the sustainability assessment (biodegradability and life-cycle-analysis (LCA) to estimate environmental impact of developed wearable e-textiles. The team will disseminate research findings through high quality publications in peer-reviewed open access journals, present at international conferences, attend and organise events to share generated knowledge created within and beyond academic circles. Therefore we are looking for a highly ambitious candidate who is driven, innovate and open for collaboration.

The post is hosted within the Centre for Print research (CFPR) at Frenchay campus. Established in 1998, the CFPR consists of a team of multi-disciplinary researchers who conduct internationally acclaimed practical research into the artistic, historical, industrial significance and future of creative print practices, processes and technologies, involving collaborations with a variety of practitioners, institutions and commercial users.

About you:

The post will suit someone with a MSc degree in electrical and electronic engineering or relevant experience of working in the area relating to sensor technology and testing (specially biosensing). A PhD degree or working towards a PhD degree in electrical and electronic engineering or relevant field would be desirable. The successful candidate should have experience in designing, assembly and analysis of various kinds of sensors and using design tools. The position would also require experience in sustainability analysis (LCA, biodegradability). The successful candidate will be responsible for undertaking research as part of a multidisciplinary team of academic and industrial collaborator where excellent verbal and written communication skills will be required. A record of high quality, peer-reviewed publications and evidence of contribution to the writing of these publications would be desirable. Also, would be looking for someone with previous experiences of working with wearable sensors.

This post is based at Frenchay campus where we have invested in the latest facilities and resources to give both our staff and students access to everything they need to succeed.
