Research Assistant/Postdoctoral Research Associate in Electronic Engineering

3 months ago


Durham, Durham, United Kingdom DURHAM UNIVERSITY Full time

The Role

We are seeking either a Grade 7 PhD holder, or Grade 6 graduate to fill this role. Owing to the available funding, the contract length will differ depending on which role the successful applicant is appointed to.

In both cases we are seeking a highly motivated and ambitious researcher with a strong background and experience in embedded system design to work on cutting-edge research in the development of wireless sensing transponders for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with Procter & Gamble (P&G) and is funded by the EPSRC Impact Accelerator Account (IAA).

This is a fixed-term role for 6 months at Grade 7, or 8.5 months at Grade 6, with an immediate start date, due to the project's focused scope.

The project

Traditional product inspections and monitoring during research and manufacturing in the industrial sector can often be subjective, highly manual, and invasive. This project aims to address these challenges by revolutionizing product monitoring through the adaptation of a battery-less, Near Field Communication (NFC)-enabled wireless monitoring system. Initially developed for livestock health and wellbeing monitoring, this scalable and cost-effective system will be transformed into an innovative Industry 4.0 solution tailored to P&G's logistics requirements. The adapted system will facilitate real-time, non-invasive temperature and humidity monitoring, offering adaptability to specific logistics needs. By collaborating closely with P&G's logistics and technical teams, the project seeks to validate the system's proof of concept for their particular use cases.
