Research Associate Electrochemical Sensing at Teesside University

We are looking for highly motivated Research Associate / Fellow to contribute to the Horizon Europe SusFe project on electrochemical sensing. Candidates must have (or almost completed) a PhD with a significant element of electrochemical sensing and ideally for clinical applications. The candidate will work in the Healthcare Innovation Centre in the School of Health & Life Sciences at the University of Teesside, reporting to Prof. Zulfiqur Ali.

The Horizon Europe SusFE (susfeproject.eu) is an exciting project that aims to develop a sustainable design and production platform for the next generation of wearable and diagnostic devices. It will combine novel flexible integrated circuit (FlexIC), printed sensors, compostable paper-based power source with a roll-to-roll manufacturing platform. SusFE uses a combination of sustainable materials and processes to create eco-friendly solutions for wound healing monitoring, self-blood sampling and point-of-care devices.

The SusFE consortium brings together a global leader for medical devices, businesses with world leading expertise in roll-to-roll processing as well as instrumentation and diagnostic, along with SMEs with expertise in flexible integrated circuits, biofuel cells, atmospheric plasma and blood self-sampling. Alongside Teesside University, the project partners include Medtronic Iberica, Spain; Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Germany; VTT Technical Research Centre, Finland, Sofradim Production, France; Capitainer, Sweden; BeFC, France; Molecular Plasma Group, Luxembourg; and Pragmatic Semiconductor Limited, Sedgefield.

At Teesside University, we are ambitious in our goals, vision and aspirations. We challenge expectations and push the boundaries of what is possible. We believe that innovation powers our steps and are motivated to make a difference through positive social impact. We work in partnership with individuals and businesses to devise creative solutions not limited by imagination.

The Tees Valley is an enjoyable place to live – in the heart of the North of England’s coastline and countryside, with easy access to Durham, Newcastle and York.
