**Research Fellows in E-Textiles**
We are seeking highly motivated post-doctoral researchers of high calibre to join our research program working in the area of electronic têxtiles. The positions are funded by the EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) project: SUSTAIN - Sustainable heterogenoUs e-têxtileS for impercepTible humAn INterfaces. SUSTAIN will tackle fundamental challenges across electronic têxtile-based sensing, wireless, electrochemical and design technologies with a focus on sustainable developments towards practical user-centric e-têxtile systems.
The roles will involve research on the following topics.
- E-têxtile supercapacitors focusing on the separator and device design within a têxtile structure. This post requires a strong background in electrochemistry, characterisation techniques, polymer science and an interest in device development.
- Textile-based triboelectric energy harvesting, working with colleagues to design a full triboelectric energy harvesting garment. This requires practical experience of triboelectric harvesting and power management circuits.
- E-Textile device manufacturing and encapsulation. This role will involve the manufacturing of a range of e-têxtile devices, focusing on encapsulation materials and processes to improve durability and reliability and requires knowledge of têxtile manufacturing, materials and testing.
- E-Textile wireless sensing utilising RFID technology to monitor human parameters such as breathing rate. This post will require expertise in RFID and wireless technologies, antenna design and characterisation.
- A PhD or equivalent in an appropriate area related to the roles described above.
- Excellent experimental research skills with a strong publication track record in high-quality international journals.
- A willingness and ability to help with the supervision of PhD students.
- Excellent communication and organisational skills, and a proven ability to work well within multidisciplinary teams.
Ranked in the top 1% of universities worldwide, we’re bold, progressive and keen to push the boundaries. We encourage and support our researchers to pursue their research and engage in other activities, such as teaching, public engagement and enterprise. Your success is our success, and it is in our interest to foster your development and support you to become the next generation of research leaders in your field.
Please note, upon appointment post title will be one of the following:
- Research Fellow in E-Textile Wireless Sensing
- Research Fellow in E-Textile Triboelectric Energy Harvesting
- Research Fellow in E-Textile Supercapacitors
- Research Fellow in E-Textile Manufacturing
We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcome applicants who support our mission of inclusivity.
