St Andrews, United Kingdom University of St Andrews Full time

Applications are sought for a committed Research Fellow to work with Dr Ross Gillanders conducting research for a Scottish Enterprise funded project building a spin-out company, Lightwater Sensors, based within the School of Physics & Astronomy.

This commercially-driven project concerns the development of organic semiconductor based sensors to detect a range of target chemicals. The researcher will ideally have expertise in the fabrication and spectroscopy of polymer films, and sensor characterisation. They will use the fabrication and characterisation facilities of the Organic Semiconductor Centre to develop and test sensors to build a sensor library for water pollutants including but not limited to pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and explosives.

The main duty is to conduct technology development of fluorescent sensors made from organic semiconductors which will be assessed for their potential in water pollutant detection. Key duties are to conduct relevant individual and collaborative translational research projects; design and perform experiments; analyse and interpret data; plan and manage own research and development activity; interact effectively with collaborators; take a lead in preparing reports, and set an example of good laboratory practice to research students. Field work at relevant sites locally and internationally may be required, as well as travel to project partners and conferences. The successful applicant will have (or be near to completion of) a PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Materials Science or similar, with expertise in thin film coatings and/or polymers. Prior experience of materials, spectroscopy, and environmental sensing is desirable.

The post is available for 6 months in the first instance starting 1st of June 2023 or as soon as possible thereafter.

Applications are particularly welcome from the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) community, and other protected characteristics who are under-represented in research posts at the University.
