Reporting to the Associate Director of Liquid Biopsy Platforms, you will focus on developing and characterising analytetransport methods, for our new sample-to-answer platforms.

The Details...
The purpose of our liquid biopsy platforms is to enable the analysis of samples directly from complex biological fluids, such as blood and saliva. This powerful capability will allow the adoption of our nanopore sensing technology by a much broader group ofhealth care professionals, eventually leading to a line of consumer products.

As part of the team, you will play a leading role in the development of flowcell-integrated processes to deliver analytes to our nanopore sensor array. This will require close collaboration with a highly multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers.

Knowledge of electrophoretic processes, fluid dynamics, electrochemistryand/pr molecular biology will be a bonus. Familiarity with DNA sequencing and molecular biology are highly desirable. Demonstrable industry/post-doctoral experience is preferred.

We will expect you to be an enthusiastic individual with a creative approach to problem solving and excellent attention to detail. You will be able to work with a high degree of autonomy, as well as in close collaboration with others.
