Electrochemist - Biosensors

About the role

We are looking for an Electrochemist with expertise in electrochemical biosensors to join a specialised R&D team developing next‑generation implantable monitoring technology. The role combines theoretical modelling, experimental research and laboratory investigations to assess sensor performance in biologically relevant environments.

Key responsibilities

• Experimental characterisation and evaluation of electrochemical sensing technologies.
• Investigation, modelling and experimental assessment of transducers, reference electrodes and measurement circuitry.
• Design and construction of test rigs and laboratory set‑ups for sensor testing.
• Modelling and simulation of sensor transducers and associated electronics.
• Design of experiments, verification testing and performance characterisation.
• Scientific programming and data analysis using Matlab and Python.
• Interpretation and presentation of research findings, generation of technical reports and invention disclosures.
• Supplier engagement and procurement of research prototypes and components.
• Mentoring and supporting junior researchers.

Required profile

• Proven experience as an electrochemist working with electrochemical biosensors or related electrochemistry.
• Strong background in sensor characterisation and experimental electrochemistry.
• Ability to lead technical investigations and work autonomously within a multidisciplinary team.
• Excellent analytical and problem‑solving skills.
